Sun 28 Aug 2011 Coral Bay

Collected from the beach off the sanctuary,
so unfortunately couldn't add these to our shell collection,
so instead adding them to the photo collection

0930 (13329 km) Breakfast of toast. Went for a walk noth along the beach of Bill Bay to were the Reef Shark Nursery was. We climbed up the sand dunes to have a better look. Definitely saw a stingray. Possibly saw some young reef shark but we couldn't really be sure since the water was quite choppy.
1200 (13329 km) Bought some pies for lunch - yummy!
1300 (13329 km) Left caravan park to go check out some turtles that some people we past had mentioned seeing and fishing.
1330 (13336 km) Drove to Maud's Landing and drove along a very soft, sandy beach to Point Maud to see turtles. We had to walk for a bit and still couldn't see any turtles. So we went back to the car and guess what. The car was stuck in the sand! Oh! Oh! We got everyone to dig out some sand and try again. Still stuck, so took all excess gear out of the boot. Still no luck. Then, HM suggested we push the car. So, HM drove and MK and CK pushed. Moved a bit. Then we got MJ and MH to also push the car. With the four of us pushing, we finally got the car out of the sandy patch and away we went. Whew!
1530 (13342 km) Too late to go fishing so we were back to caravan park for fish feeding. MJ and MH got given some fish food to feed the fish. The fish really go crazy with the food. Amongst the Spangled Emperor, there were also Parrot Fish and Zebra Fish. HM & MJ snorkelled in the fish feeding area while it was on. Went for a snorkel after feeding the fish. MJ & MH getting more confident - not needing the noodle anymore.
1800 (13342 km) Had dinner of sausage casserole with mashed potatoes and cous cous.
