  I still have a couple of days staying with my brother before returning to Canberra but today is my last day on The Island…
It is Sam’s day off, we borrowed his friends car, I made a list of what I would still like to do and he spent the day driving me around the island.
First on the list was a few photos that I wanted to take…The tree above is some sort of fig, I love the way they send there root down from the branches to the ground and I particularly liked how some horizontally growing branches gave this tree a woven look.
Next on the list was to photograph some of the many painted telegraph poles…
On the left we have Echidnas.
On the right Koalas.
Below left has Possums and Curlews…and Below right Frogs.
   
 We went and fed the Rock Wallabys at Geoffrey Bay. I was thrilled to get this photo of a one with a Joey in its pouch.
Late afternoon we headed off to West Point to watch the Sunset.
And tonight he took me out to a Seafood Restaurant for an early birthday dinner…I Love Seafood.
My Photo however is not the restaurant we ate in but the one next door, which was a mexican restaurant that had been abandoned/deserted, there was a mirror that had been taken from the wall but just left on the table, a candle holder still sitting on the shelf, the potted plants were dead and like a ghost town it had drifts of leaves that had blown in…Sounds a bit eerie but contrary to my description I actually found something about the scene, set against the red brick wall, that I found quite enchanting.

I love the fig tree! I’ve never seen anything like that. Amazing world we live in. The telephone poles are great – some talented people went to a lot of trouble there! I wonder why the Mexican restaurant didn’t make it. I love Mexican food, both border and inner country, and they are different. I grew up here, though, and it’s sort of a staple of the southwest diet. The picture is really interesting, and I can see why you took it. The petals add a nice touch, too.
