Return to Moreton
talisen and I went to Moreton Island for a long weekend away, with the same group as last April namely my mum and sister and various hanger ons. All the stuff I said last time was true this time too, there was wetland appreciation, bird watching, fishing, $15/night accommodation, novel reading, relaxing and chatting over wine and nibblies. This time there was swimming too. The water was still slightly cooler than I like, but who could resist going for a swim when the ocean looks like this?
This time around we caught the posher barge (due to an unfortunate misjudging of traffic that had us miss the normal one). It was nice to get there quickly in a boat with a cafe and little tables and seats, but I don't mind the more casual barge that doesn't seem to recognise what a safety talk is and lets people wander around with their own stubbies in their hands :)
Anyway, it was great to go away and not work. I did mean to do some but found I had left stuff at home, including a pen, which I took to be a sign I needed a break. Unfortunately, the relaxation was undone by waking up this morning with a horribly stiff neck but at least I can look at the lovely photos and pretend I'm on the island watching dolphins swim past.
