A mix of weather, guests and animals!

It’s been wonderful having such an eclectic mix of personalities at the camp recently…not to mention an exciting array of animals as well.

Steve’s mum (Patsy) sighted the elusive Brush-Tailed Phascogale. The name is derived from the meaning pouched weasel and is a carnivorous Australian marsupial. These shy animals are active at dawn and dusk, the males are a little too active in their lifespan, which is only one year due to the frenzied mating they do in their short existence. They are here for a good time not a long time!

The Air Adventure Australia group visited in mid June. This group were travelling around Australia on a photography trip, learning new skills from Ewen Bell a well known photographer. Visit the web site for some great shots of Faraway Bay www.ewenbell.com .

The Burke Family brought in 4 of their adventurous children Sam, Jack, Lilly and Lucy. Steve sent them on a mission to find the turtles that had been sighted by another couple a week or so ago at the billabong. Mission accomplished, they sighted 2 long necked turtles, however, we will need a better look at them to identify exactly which species they are.
