We started the day searching for the endangered Purple Crown Fairy-wren. The best known populations of them live in the Pandanus alongside the creek we are camped next to. There was a trail with information boards along the way. We made our way slowly along, listening and looking at the multitude of birds. Mum and Dad spotted 2 female Fairy-wrens which I thought was pretty great. It was a slow morning after that with laundry, coffee and reading. After lunch we headed out to Sir John Gorge – the best swimming spot at Mornington. We walked the Termite Trail on the way back to camp and learnt a bit about those creatures. Some of the Termite mounds we have come across have been enormous. And so many of them.
Beer and twisties for afternoon tea. Fabulous combination.
