Warroora 2

There was a big coral shelf on one section of the beach. There were several pools with cool stuff in them. I also went with Justin for a walk out across the shelf. the water was so clear you could see bunches of fish, live coral and seaweed off the edge of the shelf in the deeper water.
We got to the beach late, and so decided to stay past sunset. It was amazing to watch the colour develop over the water. Slightly dark shot of Jessie and I, but I couldn't resist posting it for the smiles.
"Hi" from sunset on the the Indian Ocean!
So amazing, a perfect day :) We drove back on the wild 4x4 roads in the dark and tried not to cream too many Roos. Terry's ute got stuck and had to be pushed off a 'curb' on the side of the road. We came back to make supper and found a 'welcoming committee'!
If I remember correctly this is a huntsman spider, and not a very big one either. But it was giant to us Alaskans! Luckily Justin saved us and knocked it down and smooshed it. It was the scariest bug we saw, besides the wasps that stung Mom and I, not too bad for visiting a land that grows lots of scary bugs!
