Seaforth has been a little patch of paradise for 10 nights, with absolute beach front position - no power or water, and only 10km north of Halliday Bay our last stop. We love listening to the sound of the water again, and plenty of kilometres of beach to walk.
Lots of quirky things in this quiet old seaside village ...a beach that changes every time the tide goes out, no curb and gutters, huge trees and parklands, a tree growing out of a palm tree (see the roots dangling) and these gorgeous protected Burdekin Ducks look like they’re wearing a cape
We were excited to pick up our new front awning, to go with our small side awning, which now gives us the feel of an extra room, and much needed shade
Our highlight was the walk out to Red Cliff Islands North and South in the top photo above, via a causeway from the mainland at low tide
View from South island over to North island and lookout hill
View from North island, we had a 360° view
We also spent a day exploring Cape Hillsborough NP. We did the major walk to Turtle Lookout with Russell (a family guy we picked up along the way) who became our unofficial photographer
Oyster covered rocks....huge
Fishing has been lousy again, one small bream in the creek behind us, and nothing off the boat ramp or beach front, the water colour was a beautiful turquoise, but not very relaxing as we were surrounded by mangroves and we are now in croc country, we have to be very vigilant.
Seeing this sign now on all creeks, boat ramps and estuaries
Our bird of the week is a curlew....noisy, eerie howling things, but soooo cute,
Two curlews are nesting on 2 eggs under the back of our neighbours van...one sits and the other keeps guard then they swap over....for 28 days
