It was very strange to settle last night with no cockatoos squabbling, but at least we’ll have no more chewing up the mast....... We woke this morning to Katy Kookaburra giving it stacks. It was low tide which meant we had a little beach in our bay. Bear had read on our buoy that if we got caught staying for more than one night, the fine would be $3300, time to move then as we have been on this one for two nights.....maybe mid week with so few boats about we would be fine but........on we go.

As we were just about to leave we had ringside seats, watching this greedy little monkey trying to swallow a fish way too big to be called a snack. Five minutes of tossing it into the air, dropping and re-positioning, then finally gulping it down, in what can only be described as an uncomfortable meal.

We still cannot get over the scenery, dominated by sandstone and trees.

The colours of the rocks is simply amazing.

Out into the main fairway, we could see a few buoys dotted around the edges.

A definite maybe, no crowds and a lovely little beach.

The end of Refuge Bay with just two yachts and loads of buoys [many belonging to individual yachts and various yacht clubs]. Just to be sure Bear jumped into Baby Beez and asked advice of one of our neighbours. He returned to say mid week no problems, help ourselves. Buoy chosen near the waterfall – to the right of the left-hand yacht..........really........

We managed our colossal journey of two and a half miles......... to Refuge Bay.

Next to us the waterfall looks tiny, apparently, we can climb up the left-hand-side to a pretty little freshwater pool, later then.
 
 
 
 
ALL IN ALL SO PEACEFUL
                     VERY PRETTY WITH JUST A HANDFUL OF BOATS ABOUT US
