A vey quiet day to start. A couple of us went for early morning walks. Wayne and I went in search of a cream bun for Al’s birthday but alas no luck at the local IGA. Most went to breakfast. All bar the Leisemann’s went for a drive to the ocean.

On the way back, we did a walk to Hogarth Falls. There was attempted platypus spotting but unfortunately, none were to be found (could be due to lots of loud families on the same walk).

At 1:45pm, we began congregating in our very small room for pre-cruise drinks and cricket. Debate raged over whether Marnus Labuschagne had been caught out? Wayne was ardent that he had not been. Amazing how passionate he becomes.

At 3, we walked down and joined our Gordon River dinner cruise. I can’t believe how big Macquarie Harbour is!

Cruising the harbour and river was lovely. Two walks were included, one into the rain forest and one on Sarah Island. Hearing about the penal colony was incredibly interesting.

Can’t go past the birthday boy for play of the day – ‘It was a tip-top day!’
