Snorkelling again

Last Sunday we went snorkelling at Shelly Beach, Manly, it was again a beautiful day in paradise (not rubbing it in). And it was stunning. Besides a Maori Wrasse we saw plenty of other fish of all sizes most of who we don't know the name yet. And I have seen my first cuttlefish in the wild, they were in a small group of about a dozen. All camouflaged best way to describe it is, is to say they were standing on the ocean floor with their tentacles up while camouflaged as seaweed. I tried to swim down to them to point them out to Caroline but unfortunately they sped off and changed colours to blend in better with the sandy bottom in a blink of an eye. Later on I saw some more casually swimming along in a small school a few yards away. For some reason I always thought they were solitary animals, until now.

From where we park our car we walk through this coastal regeneration area, with banana trees at the top, to get to the beach. And on the way back to the car walking through it we discovered an Eastern Water Dragon in the undergrowth and later another one sunbaking we almost walked straight passed it. It was a great ending to a perfect day.
