From Melville Point to Broulee Island

It's been really rainy the last couple of days. 

Muddy Puddles, Batemans Bay

By the look of this, it seems the muddy puddles have arrived sooner than expected.

On the rocks.

The southern headland at Mosquito Bay leads around to Garden Bay.

The rocks in this part of the world are some of the oldest in the continent of Australia - laid down about 450 million year ago. They are mainly greywacke, chert and shale of the Wagonga Group. They have been squeezed, bent and broken since formation, under very high pressure.

Baby puffer fish, Rosedale Beach

A recent walk along Rosedale Beach and we saw this newly washed up tiny fish on the sand.

Finger for scale

The Turdle Man

Until recently, we had a septic tank pumpout sewerage system at Rosedale. They are in the process of being de-commissioned as a new electrical sewerage system which pumps effluent to a sewerage treatment works nearby.

The Turdle Man with his pumpout truck won't be seen around for much longer.

Rosedale lagoon on misty day

The lagoon of Saltwater Creek at Rosedale two days ago. Usually from this point we can see the ocean and Jimmy's Island.
