Today
we headed for one of our all-time favourite spots… Oyster Bridge. Here’s Dave letting down the tyres before the
‘big hill’.
Unfortunately, things went pear shaped after this point… His number one problem? Letting me drive the car! I took two bites at the cherry but managed to
get to the top of the first hill so was feeling rather confident. But then came the second hill that peaks at a
blind crest and has a significant drop off on the passenger side… Let’s just
say I didn’t make it to the top of that one and in the process I got the car
bogged good and proper… It took a
significant amount of digging, the tyres to be deflated even further and we
even had to break out the max tracks for their very first use… One tired and
sweaty husband later, we were out of the sand and back on track to Oyster
Bridge (no, I wasn’t driving any more…).
In the water at last, we had one of the best snorkels we’ve ever had at Oyster Bridge. We saw no less than 3 wobbegong sharks, and one of them was even swimming around next to us (we usually just find them hanging out under a ledge). There were the usual moray eels, octopus, frilly sea slugs and even a couple of nudibranchs. The highlight were a couple of the ugliest fish we’ve ever seen. These things had grumpy faces and a good set of John Howard like eyebrows. It took a bit of research back in town but we finally figured out they were toadfish…
Back in town we headed to the pub for dinner and to watch
the Dockers get knocked out of the AFL finals… oh well, there’s always next year…
