Coffin Bay 2010: Scenery and Other Random Photos

This is the sight we were greeted with when we first arrived. Not bad, huh?

The water in the little bay out the front of the house was so clear

For some reason this reminds me of a scene from Star Wars

Coffin Bay 2010: Boats

After the Sydney photos I think everyone's already aware that I'm a big fan of boats. So it's no real surprise that I took loads of photos of them.

This is an oyster boat. It has a super shallow hull and really powerful engines. It's going over quite shallow water in this photo. Most boats wouldn't go that shallow and certainly not at that speed. They're the oyster trays on the front of the boat.

Loads of pelicans
(I like this first one in particular when he's coming into land on the water and you can see his feet out ready)

Kangaroos
We came across these on our walk

And these ones came right up to the house one morning. I didn't have much time to adjust the settings on the camera before they were disturbed by passers by, so it's not the best pic.

We saw loads of dolphins out on the boat, but it's so hard to get a good shot...

and trust me, this lump is a seal.

Here's one of Paulie's friends - a sting ray! So awesome to watch in the water. Check out the wings cutting through the surface.
