Sunrise at Yardie Creek, warning of weather to come?

Sunrise at Yardie Creek, warning of weather to come?

We awoke to find our furry friend from the night before had paid us an early morning visit and Terry shooed him away but not before he had eaten my breakfast – some bacon and cheese rolls that I was going to toast. It got worse – he had knocked a cool bag onto the floor that contained 3 or 4 apples and 2 oranges. The apples were gone but he graciously  us the 2 oranges. Pat came down with the good news that he had secured us a new campsite at Ned’s Camp up the north end of the park. We got to Neds Camp and met our new camp hosts, Frank and Merl and proceeded to set up on a snug fitting site – it was long and narrow. By the time we finished it was 35 degrees. We walked down to the beach and had a swim before lunch. After lunch we visited the Myerling Information centre and then drove to Turquoise Bay. It is very popular and was crowded when we got there. It is a large, sheltered bay with beautiful, turquoise water and it is very calm although the current is quite strong. The water is so clear you can see the bottom even when you are quite deep. Some people snorkelling were following a group of sea turtles.
