CATTANA WETLANDS & FRESHWATER - Mon. May 2

Cattana Wetlands - Monday May 2 - Labour Day

We had a relaxing morning around the house and then after lunch we drove 10 minutes north of us for a nice walk.  We saw many different types of birds, dragonflies and even a Ulysess butterfly among many other butterflies.  Some birds have crazy names like 'orange footed scrub fowl' and 'masked lap wing'.  It was a beautiful day to walk around the wetlands and enjoy nature.

On our way home we stopped at Freshy for a swim.  This is a bend in the Freshwater creek where the water pools in a nice deep swimming hole.  We went yesterday but Brody wasn't with us, so we were anxious to show him.  He loved swinging on the rope into the water.  This nice swimming hole is only 5 minutes away!
