Out damn itch

July 18, 2013 by Jen

Things I’m loving about this holiday. The warm weather. Not being at work. Spending time with my son when we’re not at home.

Things I’m not loving about this holiday. The mosquitos, the bloody mosquitos. I can’t believe how I’ve been bitten. I’ve got bites like I’ve never had before. Red, blistering bites. It’s awful. I’m now covered in repellant and I had to buy some ointment to help stop the itching, and I’m on anti-histamines. I bought the anti-histamines for my son incase he ate something he’s not supposed to.

We’re about 5-10 minutes walk from Four Mile Beach so down we went for a walk.

Four Mile Beach

I loved looking at all the little holes that little crabs? make.

Holes in the sand

Fork in the road. That way mum. I should have listened but I don’t mind getting a little bit lost when I’ve got time to do so.

We visited a nearby wildlife park where most animals are pretty free to roam and quite a few birds just hang around in the restaurant.

I also think it was where I got a lot of my mosquito bites.

Rainbow Lorikeet

We liked this fellow and he eventually did pose for me. Hallo cocky!

Red Tailed Black Cockatoo

I love the way Tawny Frog Mouths blend into the branches they sit on and look really chilled. I think I could learn a thing or two from them.

The sign said to hug a tree because it’s awesome so he did.

Hug a tree - it's awesome

These fellas were safely behind fences. Phew!

And koalas aren’t really bears you know.

How much can a koala bear?

One cheeky fellow to another.
