Month: April 2012
120/366 Egg cases
119/366 Sponge
118/366 Kelp
Must have been strong waves and tide to bring this type of kelp onto the beach! This is usually anchored deep in the sea not near our shallow bay.
117/366 Mouth of creek
Very rarely does the mouth of our creek actually flow into the sea. If it was flushed regularly, maybe we wouldn’t have so many problems with the winter rains flooding some properties.
116/366 Eat this??
The aboriginal people of Tasmania often ate from the rocky shores near the beaches. Did they eat this type of sea lettuce?
115/366 Rocky outcrop
Headed in a different direction for my walk today, and ended up looking out at Frederick Henry Bay across this rocky outcrop including mussels and sea lettuce.
114/366 Sandy fingers
After the wave receded from the beach, these sandy fingers were spotted. Looks like rivers and creeks on a map.
113/366 Inchmen
What are these, you might ask? They are nasty little ants with a terrible bite. Some people will have allergic reactions to their relatives, jackjumpers, so be careful in woody or beach areas where these fellows live, especially if wearing open toed shoes or going barefoot.
112/366 Tar
In the beachside suburb where I live, the council have been tarring the roads ready for the winter rainfall to wash it all away again.
111/366 Who lived here?
A Tasmanian author used to live here and her property is now part of a wildlife sanctuary.
Who was this author and what were the names of some of her books?
110/366 Death on the roadside
Tasmania has a lot of roadkill due to many animals coming out at dusk to feed. Wonder what happened to this snake?
