We were back on the road with Kill Bunny. Wild animal encounters were becoming more frequent and more nerve racking. At first we were out looking for Kangaroos. Then there were kangaroos everywhere. As it turns out, they don’t really seem very interested in playing.
These guys watched us hike and ended up witnessing a moment of truth. The path was well worn. It was a typical hike with trees and grass and kangaroos. We were walking side by side when, out of nowhere, something jumped up and stabbed my foot. Without hesitation, I pushed CD towards the wild animal and took off running down the trail. Moments later, I come face to face with the stick that had grabbed my foot. If there was ever any question what I would do in the face of an emergency, it was answered during this hike. If it’s me or CD, it looks like CD is going to have to look out for himself.
Back in the parking lot, we made breakfast and headed towards the beach.
That is where CD was attacked by this bird. It wasn’t shy about diving right into his cereal bowl.
We picked up the pace and focused our sights back on the beach. We walked a couple of hundred feet on the sand and were enjoying the view when we saw this. It was indifferent to us. I was less indifferent to it.
That was our morning at Pebbly Beach. I was starting to feel a bit jumpy. I will skip the crocodiles in the river and the pythons in the sugar fields for now. I will mention the Emu in the road and the brush turkey that was stalking me. Has anyone heard of a cassowary.? Yikes!
I started checking everywhere for spiders and snakes. I carefully opened the washroom door at the park below. I looked on the floor and behind the toilet for snakes. I looked in the corners for spiders. I peed – more quickly than sometimes – and flushed. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something bright green in the toilet. A frog was inside the toilet! It was holding on to the top of the toilet with one leg, just under the toilet seat, while the rest of its body fought against the current of the toilet flushing. What!! I can’t believe I made it out of there alive.
