Both Jeff and Heather are locals through and through. Heather was the daughter of the town baker and reckons that Jeff married her for the dough! Anyway, they are very knowledgeable about the area and rightfully proud of their district and shared all their favourite nearby places with us. We all fitted into their Pajero with room to spare (one vacant seat) because B1 was on watch. Almost unbelievably, the Bloke came along too. Conditions were relatively calm and Zofia had 'behaved' for over a week. He felt secure enough to leave her.
We saw Corvisart Bay, Speeds Point, Scaeles Bay and finally Venus Bay where we enjoyed lunch. Now that we have seen these places we have a better idea of where we would like to visit next and have pretty much been persuaded that a trip into Venus Bay is not really warranted as it would mean anchoring in a strong tidal stream near a busy commercial jetty with views to the caravan park. The scenery IS stunning but we have now seen it.
So now that we have seen 'things' we can share them with you too. There were plenty of places that were stunning, some things that I found amusing and some fascinating. So drum roll.....here is part of the camera roll folks.
