Day 4 – Hervey Bay – Day 1

Relaxed Morning, the day is overcast and a little drizzly.    Dawn has all these possum boxes around the house and most of them are full.  One is pretty close to the deck and as the morning wears on we see a little face sticking out.   While they are nocturnal, that doesn’t stop us feeding some banana to the Possum this morning.  The banana has just come out of the fridge, so when she doesn’t come out straight away for a second helping we figure it might be brain freeze.    Eventually she pops up again, and this time Caitlin gets a turn.

Did I mention I hate back tracking?
