Adventures on the Australian South Coast

Since November 2017, we have opted to travel Australia rather than reside in Newcastle ("Newy"). We have been driving south from Newy, down the South Coast, and made a month-long stop in Bateman's Bay while I spent some time writing my PhD thesis. We took care of a couple of little canines while their caretakers were away. The property was situated right up against a natural reserve with a creek and beaches on the other side. Just a few minutes drive took us to this, daily:

Our companions, Zac & Zoe, two German schnauzers. Through daily runs and lean meals (just as we did), we helped them to lose 0.5 and 2 kgs, respectively. Their caretakers were pleased.

As we left to go further south to Melbourne (where we would board a ferry to Tasmania), we went snorkeling with seals on Montague Island:
