Back
at Kingfisher in a far more kindly SE breeze today. David and I went
for a hardy bush walk from the resort south over the cliff to
Mackenzie's jetty which was the site of a former logging operation
and nearby the secret base of Australia's WW2 commando unit training.
Today there are the remnants of the buildings of the commando camp
and some rusting vehicles and on the beach rusting remnants of the
logging enterprise – a rusting tractor and a rusting boiler.

The
walk back to our dinghy at the resort was along the beach. Which as
you looked at it seemed to be moving; an illusion created by
thousands and thousands of small soldier crabs scuttling and digging
in the sand.
We
hosted dinner on Jackster for our friends; a simple, but may I
modestly say, delicious, griddled wahoo with a green salsa. The
weather was far kinder tonight and no thunderstorms or unexpected
gusts of wind to shiver the timbers.
