Winyalkin Island and Wollaston Bay

This morning they discovered baby turtles under the boat. There was obviously a turtle hatching event on the beach last night. The hatchlings all wait together just under the sand in their nest, and then scurry down the beach together towards the water. Only 20 in a thousand make it to maturity.  Some people saw brolgas on the beach early this morning, and someone mentioned a shark. But I just saw the beach.



We were moored off the island where this was happening. Further around the bay, in much shallower water, we went to our second aboriginal art gallery.











There was a thylocene, so that rock art was at least 9000 years old.


As we came back we saw dolphins, but I didn’t take any pictures.
