A horse named Kelly fell into a sinkhole in the 1920s and was never found – but the cave system she fell into was found and named after the ill-fated Equine. Molly and I wondered how they knew she fell into a sink hole, if they never found her, but we forgot to ask our tourguide Kaitlin. Once again, winter travel allowed us to be the only members of the tour (a Sealink day tour bus pulled out just as we started our tour). "Stalactites hold tight to the ceiling, stalagmites might someday reach the ceiling."
In addition to that ditty, our tourguide also Kaitlin told us that her mom taught her that any sort of roadkill you see, you should push it off the side so it doesn’t cause more accidents AND check to see if it had babies. If there are babies, bring them home to rehab until you can release them in the wild. That explains why she had to give up her heated waterbed to the baby kangaroos her mom brought home.
We spotted these scarlet rosellas in the trees at our lunch picnic – but still no echidna sightings in the wild!
Molly is standing under a Yacca Tree that grows 1 cm a year, which I think makes this tree about 300 years old. Any metric experts care to help me out here?
Charlie is demonstrating how to clean both shoes at once...
