Dingo beach, North Queensland

(Click for bigger photos)

Looking towards Gloster Island - Swimming enclosure, meant to keep out stingers out, but netting to big for the most dangerous ones, which are thumb nail size!! luckly the water was too cold for stingers so we had heaps of swims! this is (sort of) how big the bay is, beautiful, isnt it!

this is almost full tide. below it low tide.

(dont have photo yet, have to get one off other camera)

Us, at Bowen, at the big look out, has a really nice restruant with great views. photo looking back towards gloster island.

Aidan's first fish at Dingo Beach

on his second cast, he hooked this one and it nearly pulled him in to the water, so i reeled it in for him. he gave up fishing then, while he was ahead!

Tawny frogmouth

I am a ARROW (Australian rescue and rehabilitation of wildlife) carer, this morning I got a call from a lady down the road, a Tawny frogmouth flew into her car last night. I went and picked him up and drove 40minutes to meet an experinced carer to get advice. He seemed alright, but he wasn't gripping with his feet, indicating nerve damage. So I was going to get our vet to have a look and was not going to get attached to him, in case, if in 4 weeks it had not repair he would have been euthanased. But by the time I got home he was fine!
I have just fed him some mince with insectivore mix and a moth, and will feed him during night. He is sitting on the bath in our ensuite, so kids and cat cant get him. I think it will take 3-4 months to get him ready for release!
