making a grand entrance

today howie and i went on an adventure. initially we planned to go to sydney aquarium, but then no trains and expensive ferries made us reconsider. so we headed up the coast to the entrance!!

off we go again.jpg

good choice.

we headed up the freeway and made it to our destination by about 11am. i parked duckie in some obscure parking lot, and we headed down to the foreshore. it was nice to wander around and take photos, and enjoy sunshine!!

there was a little fair type thing happening - jumping castles, fairy floss, show bags, giant slide, corn, airbrush tattoos, face painting, plaster painting, and kites. go the entrance! plus a "pete the pelican" show at least twice.

i got a bertie beetle show bag. i had to!

we got some lunchies from coles, and wandered the shops. some quality stores around.

we also walked closer to the ocean and down on the rocks.

and then!! it was pelican feeding time at 3:30pm. that was good fun. they really like to come and eat. there's about 500 pelicans in the region, and 50-80 come each afternoon for the free food. it was pretty cool to watch them. they are very strange looking creatures!

I got attacked by one of those pelicans when i was about 10. scared the life out of me because it wanted mum's fish. and we've rescued a couple when we went "fishing" around the point part. they are very weird animals. they have strange swallowing techniques that's for sure.
