​Flinders Island - Friday 10 February

Yellow Beach

We woke to a grey misty day wrapping quietly around us cozy and safe like a blanket. It is frog-weather today and tiny scraps of glistening skin on springs are bouncing all around as well as in the toilet! Yes we have a toilet in this bush camp as well a BBQ. The 'gobble bonk' of frogs breaks a delicious silence. We are at Yellow beach and this morning the water beckons but there's little room to dry bathing paraphernalia in the mist-laden air.
Post frog-exploring, we launched into the day with a BBQ breakfast banquet (these things are all relative) - in the mist. Quite delicious but then all food tastes better outside. Then we were off to explore.

Special pellets are in the chalet to feed these darlings

The chalet has sleeping upstairs, fire downstairs 

We discovered Patriarch Inlet and Wild Life sanctuary where pademelons and Bennett wallabies eat out of your hand. We wandered across marshy green then through a little forest of trees and bushes where we happened upon 'George of the jungle' caterpillar out exploring on the end of his silken thread.

This sanctuary is cared for by a small group of dedicated 'friends'. We returned there to camp that night - we slept in the van. There's shower and toilet and a small chalet with a huge fire box and chimney - we lit a fire to dry our clothes and shoes. It all seemed quite luxurious to us - warmth and space can take on such proportions.
