Thursday, 07 March 2024 A juvenile King Parrot visits us. Thursday, 07 March 2024 Beautiful, friendly little bird, just like the adults. Thursday, 07 March 2024 So pretty. Thursday, 07 March 2024 A adult male King Parrot arrives shortly after.
Thursday, 07 March 2024 Then the female arrives Thursday, 07 March 2024 She's a little shy. Thursday, 07 March 2024 A bovver boy arrives so we shoo it away. Bovver boys were a particular breed of nuisance in England in the 1960's. Their sole purpose in their, useless meaningless lives was to create "bovver" (bother) for the rest of society. Redeeming features: none. Thursday, 07 March 2024 A male King Parrot comes to visit.
Thursday, 07 March 2024 We have breakfast by the ocean at Batemen's Bay. Susan pronounces this as Bettm'ns Be (as in egg) Thursday, 07 March 2024 A new bridge has been built since our last visit here. Thursday, 07 March 2024 Quite nice. Thursday, 07 March 2024 The meaning of the artwork on the bridge.
Thursday, 07 March 2024 Bateman's Bay CBD is opposite us. Thursday, 07 March 2024 We drive here, a short distance away. Thursday, 07 March 2024 Lovely view through the trees. Thursday, 07 March 2024 We drive a few kms along the northern shore of Bateman's Bay to Maloneys Beach. Once again, we are overwhelmed by the large summer crowds.
Thursday, 07 March 2024 Looking to the south provides no relief from the relentless crush of humanity. Thursday, 07 March 2024 To the north. Thursday, 07 March 2024 Taken with the iPhone Panoramic feature. Conclusion: not as good as stitched pictures. Nowhere, nohow. Thursday, 07 March 2024 We manage to find a parking spot right near the beach.
Thursday, 07 March 2024 We return via North Durras. Thursday, 07 March 2024 North Durras is a huge, shallow lake open to the ocean. It's the next beach South from our cabin at Depot Beach. Thursday, 07 March 2024 Parking is easy. Thursday, 07 March 2024 Later that evening, we go back into Bateman's Bay for a proper meal.
Thursday, 07 March 2024 This was the perfect finish of a very quiet day. End of Day 4.
