Back to Freycinet

Last weekend we returned to the Freycinet Peninsula for our third visit this summer. It's a magical place that holds many fond memories and seems to draw us back repeatedly.  In 1989 we shared our whale rescue adventure with friends Rod and Marguerite Scott. On our latest visit we spent a wonderful couple of days with them. By day we fished and swam, and in the evenings we regaled each other with hilarious tales of our misspent youth. What a hoot! Marguerite should have her own comedy club!! Rod knows just where to find the best crayfish and flathead and we enjoyed a delicious feast of both, cooked to perfection!

Favourite Spot
Pen with Paddymelon "Rusty"




















We enjoyed exploring favourite old haunts and visited favourite old friends. Andrea Cole has cared for orphaned marsupials for many years and currently has to paddymelons in her care. Having reared them with a bottle, she has now taught them both to lap their formula from a dish.
