The Pelican Soars!
We have made lots of friends in 2009, but none quite like Taffy. Thank goodness!
Our resident pelican is very high maintenance and has kept us all busy, particularly our fabulous chef, Sam. Taffy isn’t fussy, but does insist on fresh fish daily, and prefers whiting and small mullet caught by Sam in the cast net.
Taffy was brought here from Mt Hart Wilderness Lodge on the Gibb (hence the name ‘Taffy’) by a regular at Faraway Bay, Rolf Seiler. Rolf flew him here in style by air. After nearly being consumed by a pack of dingoes at his former home and almost starving to death, Taffy has adjusted well to life at Faraway Bay.
We all love to watch him soaring overhead, showing off his new found strength and fat belly!
