Lunch by the river

On the journey back from Margaret River we stopped for lunch beside the river
It was such a relief to stretch our legs after several hours in the carTreated like a princess by the staff Uni got her very own stylish chair
Sarah and Olivia had trouble deciding what to eatUni's mind was made up- it would be mashed bananas

Posh Nosh at Hilary's Bay

We all went out for one last family meal before our flights tomorrow night.
Uni was being very well behaved sitting at the table in her own chair
Auntie Sarah bought her a blueberry cola
Supreme of chicken stuffed with mozarella and parma ham
The water in the bay was so still as we walked home

Uni's new friends

AFTER A LUCKY ESCAPE FROM AN OVER FRIENDLY CROC
UNI got to meet a whole bunch of new friendsBilly, the sea turtle, was very old and had lots of fascinating stories
Frank, the tiger shark, said being in this giant fish tank was like walking into the biggest pick'n'mix shop you could imagine. Delicious morcels all around- he had nothing but nice things to say of the businessman who tried to feed him mackerel whilst foolishly still attached to a piece of line with a big hook in it. Without said businessman he'd still be fending for himself ou tin the oceans- he's so very grateful.
Glenn, the Mantra Ray, had better things to do than chat- he was busy scaring all the little children, but he did say that his cousin, Shane, was in Melbourne and that we should visit him if we got the chance.
This here is TASCO- their resident male sea lion
He's extremely friendly and very talented. Loves to jump through hoops, do handstands, pushups and have his belly tickled by the handlers. All in all its like a holiday camp for him as they keep throwing fish in the air for him to eat.

The quayside is stunning!

Then have dinner by the water and watch the sun go down
