Yeppoon is just outside the main Central Queensland city of Rockhampton, and Causeway Lake is just down the coast from Yeppoon. We've had a very relaxing week at Causeway Lake Tourist Park. Everyone here is so friendly and seem to be enjoying life. The change of tides here are very dramatic, and consequently the lagoon/lake has a waterfall into it at high tide and a waterfall out of it at low tide. The beaches are also very wide with millions of tiny blue crabs making the most of the big tides. They seem to burrow into the wet sand as the tide goes out and then spit wet sand balls out of their little hide-out. It's quite a sight.
Les went for a walk along the wilder side of the beach and promptly came across a Tiger Snake which reared up at her, giving her a real fright. Tiger Snakes are very agressive and not at all afraid of humans, so she was lucky to escape unscathed. We were also lucky enough to see a Jabiru Stork on the beach. They are much bigger and more colourful than I had realised.
Typo here Ash & Les - I think the date should be 30th August. All this leisure time is showing, time means nothing anymore, n'est ce pas? From those of us still in the trenches ...
