First stop after breakfast is Hangover creek, or its real name Eli creek, it's a little fresh water creek where we came down in a rubber ring dinghy.... Was so relaxing.... Played a bit of volley ball before moving into the mahino shipwreck.... It was the biggest ship until the titanic.... It completed all voyages and was being shipped to Japan where it was sold to for parts when it ran ashore in a storm... It was then used for bomb practise in the war so now only 1/4 remains!
Then went to Champagne pools, they are rock pools that when the tidal waters spill over, look like champagne tools, but I was unconvinced! Maybe should have gone closer to high tide!
It was then off to the final stop of the day...Indian head where we chilled ontop of the mountain with a beer whale watching! It was good to see whales again, but it had absolutely nothing on seeing the whales at a 5m distance!
On the way home... We collected pippies which are like muscles to cook for the evening and driftwood for the fire!
Fire was amazing tonight, roasting marshmallows, Except the fire falling on Steph! Fortunately no major injury, but we did get our medic on a bit with the ice and burn gel.... Then it was Kats turn.... Whilst giving Steph a piggy back, fell over and bust her big toe and knee....again... No lasting damage fortunately, though was a sad loss for the flip flops!!!
Slept better tonight... But I did have all my clothes that I took to the island on.... Including the rash vest.... Needless to say, no shivering!!

Ps turns out there was a huntsman spider in the camp....! X
