Day Six - I think

Been in the water too long ? Looking kind of rusty.

The locals are inquisitive.

Pelicans love it here too.

Coffin Bay is perfect for fishing and Oyster farming.

Coffin Bay has provided three days of glorious weather so far this week, so we've stayed on.

Met some locals, Martin and Gloria, Martin has sheared sheep all his life 'Two hundred a day in my younger days' he said proudly. He stopped when his hips 'gave up the ghost' and the two of them settled in the local caravan park and have been enjoying Coffin Bay for the last 6 years. Can't say I blame them :)

Bill, runs an Oyster business. He heads with his crew to collect the oyster beds some 15 km up through the crystal clear bays. Today's oysters will be on Melbourne dining tables in 2 days.

No need to unload boats at the jetty when you can drive them to your workshop.

Some oysters are still sorted by hand.

There is a strong sence of comunity here. The internet cafe is a community innitiative. When the government privatised Telstra (phone company), some of the proceeds found their way to communities like this one and funded the hardware.

Staffed by voulunteers, the entire community can have broadband access to the internet.

People cooperate here, know each other by their first names, walk in couples and are welcoming to travellers like us.

Frost paints the leaves white.

Morning fog rolls into the bay.

The Coffin Bay National Park is picture perfect. I felt like a kid in a candy store. Awsome landscapes, amazing textures everywhere I pointed my camera.
