On the high seas

We spent the day off the bike first off touring the Gordon river then finding the Fairy Penguins on one of the islands.
THe first tour was the Gordon River tour which goes out the heads through Hells Gate for a look then back up the harbour and up the Gordon River. We have heaps of photos which I will put up (more than likely now when we get back to Bundy) but the tour was really well done. They stop twice - once on Sara Island (the setting for the book For the Term or His Natural Life) which is full of amazing stories of killings torture and revenge, then on to a wilderness stop. Lunch is put on at this time and the feed even left me full.
When we got back we had a look around Strahan, where I picked up a really nice piece of Huon Pine which will become a cheese board (hopefully!)
At 7:30 we were off to see the Penguins which are found on a small island in the harbour. This is a smaller group of only 8 people at a time, and we found it really great fun.
We got so close to the little guys, and apparently I have a real talent for spotting fairies!
