PILGRAMURRA MOONRISE
SPOT THE BRONZY
Middle right & you can just see the shadow of a Bronze Whaler Shark. Moment earlier a couple snorkelling had got into a bit of trouble in a very nasty rip. The girl was getting a bit panicky as she tried to get back to shore, willing her boyfriend to help her. He had a camera and his own gear & was struggling to be able to get to her. I jumped in & yelled him to throw me his gear & get her out of the water quickly. Neither of them at this point new of the shark only metres away. He had trouble getting her fins off as she wailed in the fast running water;” just rip her fins off & get out quickly” I yelled. As she passed me in the water on her return to the shore I pointed out the bronzy. She was pretty happy to be out of there.
CAPE RANGE NP
This beautiful area provides some welcome shade as well as some great paintings & stories of the coastline & inhabitants of these waters.
PILGRAMUNNA SUNSET
BIG TIDES – TIME TO MOVE ON
As the moon rose we made final preparations for the next days departure. Normally this would not be an issue but tomorrow the tides would be at their highest in the last 50 years. The result of the full moon & the fact that the moon was at its closest to planet earth in fifty years. The entire camp area would be inundated with water so there would be no time for any late hitch ups or any unusual problems that may occur.
