Heatwave
Lane Cove NPIts very warm here at the moment with the temperature up in the low forties today! Not much you can do when its like that so we've all been back to the sea for a bit of snorkeling over the last two weekends. Last Sunday we were in Gordons Bay and saw a nice Wobbegong shark and a lovely big octopus. Yesterday we ventured out to Little Bay and it turned up the usual swarms of Stripeys and also another octopus which had found a golf ball (the bay is right next to a golf course) which it had put across the opening to his hiding place.

The owl was sleeping but there were loads of reptiles about in the heat. A big Red-bellied Black Snake slinked off into the creek and effortlessly swam away. Just as well because they can kill you! There were also loads of dragons and skinks.

GO SCOTLAND!!!!!!!!!!!
What owl? All I saw were possum carcases and guano. Did see some nice leather jackets on the weekend though while out snorkeling.
Two owls with a dead sugar glider there on Monday so I'm told!
From the SMH:"the 2009 Wallabies proved to be simply a grand sham when they allowed a second-rate rugby nation, which had no imagination and did nothing more than tackle for 80 minutes, to beat them for the first time in 27 years”
Heh heh.
Peter says Australian rugby is in a developmental stage and Scotland is a great nation anyway (unlike the English... they are just w&%$ers) so who cares. Nice owl Iain. Are you all right mate?
Wotcha!
