morning all!
today and yesterday,
the heat is on...summer has arrived full force.
it was just the day, yesterday..
to take a little drive out of town
not far, just 15 mins..
to the rockpools!
the narrow roads were a bit scary
but i took it quite slowly
{and pulled over twice to let speedy drivers overtake me!}
we settled at a picnic table in the shade
and look what appeared in front of us!
i have heard them being called 'perenties' before...
but when i searched online
they looked more like a lace monitor.
this chap was about a metre long
from the end of his nose to the tiniest tippity tip of his tail!
i was about 4 metres away from him to take these photos...
i wouldn't want to be much closer
'cos they run up trees
and i've heard that goannas run up people if there isn't anything else around...
not that that was really likely
as there were plenty of trees!
and that's what he did...just looked around and
scuttled into the nearest grove of trees.
the rockpools were georgeous..
a river just cascading down steps of rocks
making miniature waterfalls leading into pools of icy cold water...
refreshing on a blistering hot day!
a perfect place for everyone...
and so close to home...i can't believe i haven't been here before!
shame..shame..shame.
still...the upside is..i have now! hehe!
what did you do last weekend?
i'd love to know...
see ya later...
