Me and Rob went to Port Newery and pulled the dingy up to the beach to have a walk on te trails . The trails were filled with wattle leaves and some bark the Parks and Recreation left for visitors to walk on . As i was walking up and down them , my nose took on new smells like a brown sugar . Rob it was a molasses grass and showed me where the smell was coming from . He hated the smell cause he grew up around it all the time lol but i was intrigued by it. also they have a plant they call grass tree " black boys " native to the Aborigines they used them for medicinal uses , the gum as a glue resin and the plant grows up like a cattail with a fuzzy top on it and the butterflies just swarm around it when in bloom cause it is sticky . Everywhere i looked was those plants
and all kinds of new butterflies and strange bird sounds . I know that my Grandmother would have loved every minute of it , touching and smelling the flowers and plants . It was almost as if she was walking beside me. At first i had such a fear of spiders and things that would scare me , but as i walk the trials and i experience things like that i have to remember that we as humans are like giants to them , and i have learned to respect them . We have seen a few whip snakes and green tree snakes they did not take time to stay around and quickly took off , and we seen s Goanna like lizard sunning herself in the sun . I have always been the prissy , dont get my feet and hands dirty type of girl , but since i met Rob he has helped me to over come that . i have my moments when i dont like the steep climbs or the spider webs i encounter , but hes a bush man and has taught me how to avoid the webs with a stick , and using a up down motion it will remove the webs before you walk into them ... The golden weave orb spider used to scare me but she is eats all the sand flies and mozzies ! so we have kinda made a mends . She spins a golden web too , and shes not ugly like most spiders ... well lets say i have adjusted to her . Gramma would be proud of me she was such a nature lover .
We headed through the trail and on the other end was a beach called sunset beat , with she oak trees that whistled in the breeze Rob hates those too lol they remind me of the sea when the wind hits them
the beach was not occupied and we walked down the beach together. Its good to get out of the boat stretch your legs and breathe fresh air , sometimes you can be quite cooped up in a saiboat espically if you cant fish or its too cold to snorkle or swim .
