Boxing Day in Perth and Rockingham

Boxing day and it did hit 40 degrees - I'm still a human pin cushion, but we headed for the sea today to get away from the heat.

We drove down the coast, an hour's drive south to the town of Rockingham, to visit Penguin Island - guess what to see, yes Fairy Penguins and lots of other stuff.  You get a small ferry across, about 5 minutes to the nature reserve

The island is full of Pelicans, Fairy Terns, squawky gulls and of course Fairy Penguins - brilliant


Beautiful little birds


Looking across  the bay


Hiding from the heat -  don't blame then


Big bugger!

Back in Perth it was out for another BBQ - this time in King's Park


Throw another prawn on the BBQ Cherv and where's me stubby?
