Perrys lookdown

Perrys lookdown is well renowned as a good place to stretch the legs so a fews weeks back in some reasonably mild weather Allan and I went went for a wander up and down it.
Didn't see much in the way of wildlife but there were plenty of other punters out for a brisk stroll.

Hamilton Island

Adelle and I went to Ojia's and Adam's wedding a few weeks ago on Hamilton island. The island is quite developed but there was still some wildlife left in places and we managed to see a green turtle, a monitor, a green tree snake a few birds, some live coral and a heck of a lot of dead coral. There were also golf buggies to drive around the island but unfortunately ours malfunctioned so we spent most of the time walking.
