| Fish feeding by the beach |
1515 (13326 km) Packed snorkeling gear and drove to beach. Saw fish feeding. They were huge Spangled Emperor fish probably about 0.5 metres. We stood in the shallow water and they were just swimming around our legs. One fish could have fed a family a couple of meals. Also other smaller fish - parrot fish and stripey black and white ones. Went to Paradise Beach for a snorkel. Very nice reef and very close to the beach - don't even need to swim - just stand waist high in water in some parts. As it was low tide, some of the corals were a bit close when we snorkeled past - easy to see how they could be damaged - I'm sure I accidently kicked some. Saw cabbage coral, lots of fish, sea cucumber and a sting ray. MK getting the hang of the snorkel and gaining confidence. Other 2 don't seem too keen, just 1 snorkel, then off to the beach to create structures.
1700 (13228 km) Went back, checked out cruises to go snorkelling with mantarays.1730 (13329 km) Caravan park. Water here is terrible - bore water which is very salty and hot, so there is special taps for drinking water (desalinated bore water). We can't even connect the water to the camper trailer as the water is too hot to use, and not very good for the pipes! Will put off doing the clothes washing till the next place.
