Aug 2020, Darlington Beach, NSW
Elle bakes potato based tarts in her pie maker. She squashes potato gems in the bottom before adding salami, cheese and an egg. And I thought she was crazy bringing her pie maker! I’m eating my words and her pies!
The park is busy with weekend families so the kangaroos move in to spend the afternoon around us quiet folk.
About 9:00pm a loud thump shakes the van. A quick look outside reveals nothing but a mob of grazing kangaroos.
Another day of relaxing. El Prado spots a large whale off Woolgoolga.
I find a sketching instruction book online and spend the afternoon drawing an en-suite. Loving this urban sketching caper. There’s a pretty good chance that I’m the only person in this park drawing the toilets.
We sit outside until dark it is much milder tonight. A young kangaroo comes around searching for food and sits between us, we are speechless.
Is that Deidre behind Kevin?

And I think her partner Douglas is just out of shot.😂

If they have to tag the wildlife I wish they’d give them more attractive earrings, those plastic monstrosities are SO agricultural. Maybe Kevin doesn’t care but I’m sure Kylie is unimpressed.
They could give them an unobtrusive microchip. 🙂

Not a good look at all, I wonder if they tag the snakes?

Would like to watch them try!

I wonder why both of Kevin’s ears are tagged? Do they think he is in danger of losing one?

Spending three weeks in close quarters with this mob we quickly learnt that they’re trying their best to out sleep cats.
