Day 177 – Mama turns 40 in Venus Bay

The morning consisted of morning cuddles and snuggles as well as reading beautiful messages from my lovely friends who celebrated with me. How blessed to have the day with my family travelling Australia!

We didn’t have any set plans anymore since the sealion tour got postponed to tomorrow so it was a relaxed and slow morning.

I was also trying to work out if the dots on Scarly’s face were mozzie bites or in fact something more sinister. There’s definitely been a mozzie in our bed and the fact that the dots were only on her face made me a bit more comfortable.
Chris cooked bacon & eggs and we just managed to finish our brekkie before the first bit of rain reared its ugly head.

We went for a little walk and then the first stop for the day was the Woolshed Sea Cave. We were all actually amazed at how cool it was, I had zero expectations for it so it was a pleasant surprise.

We could hear the bats in the back of the cave but didn’t go in too far. Instead we admired the cave from each angle that was accessible. It was pretty!

From here we cruised a bit more to check out The Tub and a few more scenic coastal sites and then onto Murphy’s Haystacks. The difference between a pillar like these and boulders is that boulders are detached from the underlying bedrock, whereas these remain attached.

It was fun to have a look around and the girls attempted to perch up on them without sliding off.

I was told that there was an oyster and prawn seller in Port Kenny, so we stopped by, but it turns out he had sold out do oysters. Oh well, it wasn’t meant to be, so we grabbed some prawns for next time and let the girls burn a bit more energy.

Back at camp we had a late lunch and a slice of carrot cake as my birthday treat 🙂

The rest of the afternoon was very relaxed, playing games, going for a walk up to the lookout with my scooter girl, more playground and lastly dinner at the very shabby Port Kenny Hotel with our caravan park neighbours. The courtesy bus meant that everyone got a little too merry and I definitely regret my drinking choices on the first day of my 40s! Ha
