Update on the Mutton Birds

A while back I blogged about the mystery of all the bird bodies who washed up on Australian and New Zealand beaches. I decided to go back to a spot which doesn't get much foot traffic and get an update. I was expecting to see, four months on, just bone remains but surprisingly it seems they're going through a slow process of decomposition. Sorry if this is morbid to some/most - just something that I find curious. 

I've also included some pretty nature shots to help make this post less weird :)

Onto the bird bodies...

and back to pretty nature!

I kid you not this is how the water looks, that view always takes my breath away :)

Can you spot a little dude over on the left somewhere? I wasn't quick enough to whip out my long lens (although I tried!)

Love you Noosa

Devils Kitchen - Noosa National Park

A few weeks back we went exploring Noosa national park, I've been a handful of times but after each trip I wonder why I don't go more often - it's pretty silly to live somewhere so beautiful and not milk it or maybe only seeing it occasionally keeps the magic alive :)

By the way in that photo above Lowie's explaining a "movie" moment he saw where a family was scattering ashes and the ashes just blew back in their face - oops. Anyway back to the scenery!

Above is Alexandria Bay and is famous for being a nudist beach here in Australia :)

We saw turtles - can you spot him, he's just a pale-ish rectangle blob!

The rocky landscape on the left is Devils Kitchen - Karla is looking into the what we call the spooky cave, I jumped into that water once and I ended up stuck at the back of the cave crying, not sure if I had the courage to swim back out - I'm not the best swimmer and it was a such a scary moment for myself - feeling I was going to end up smashed against the rocks.  I also lost my camera - lucky it was only a point and shoot, I do remember being sad that I lost all my photos I took on that trip - it was my first valentines with Ben and we camped on those pebbles above :)

We even got our own little private ocean spa this time :)

 Sun setting = end of our adventure :)
