Cockatoo Heaven

Just innocently sitting on our balcony and we were visited by the residents.



Last sunset or sunrise (can't remember) in Hamilton Island

That's our hotel on the far left.

They are on our neighbour's balcony.

Well, hello there!



One of them surprised me from behind and landed on my shoulder.   That's what the scratch marks on my shoulders are from!



Aren't they great????

I'm in heaven!

Yes, he's giving me a love bite.  They were surprisingly gentle, but quite aggressive.

This is NOT from the reef.  Can you guess what it's from?

I snorkeled past the furthest buoys by accident and got yelled at.

The view from the pontoon.

That's Kendra and no, she hasn't dyed her hair orange.

That's Kyle!

Beautiful blue pattern in the huge clam



Lots and lots of large clams





Parrot Fish


Daytrippers are leaving us on the Pontoon for the afternoon and overnight.

We have the place all to ourselves.

Another pontoon in the distance.  More like a bird sanctuary.

Sunset at the GBR pontoon.

Our accommodation for the night.  They zip up with screens at face level.  It was too hot though, so we slept with them open.
