Darwin Day 3 - Casuarina Beach

Uncle Bert told us that their favourite beach when they visited in May was Casuarina, which is where Uncle Bert and Mama grew up, as we lived in Tiwi, the suburb next to it.  Bert and Pinky took Gabriel there every day and he loved it.  So far, it's our favourite beach too.  There's a lot of soft brown sand.

 

And best of all for Katy, there are some great big tidal pools, which make Katy feel very safe while playing in the water!

 We all love investigating the many many hermit crabs and other  sea animals living in the tidal pools.

 

 

This starfish/anemone/??? was particularly fascinating as it elegantly walked its five frilly legs along the bottom of the pool.

 Katy loved making little sand balls. 

 ...a little strange, but she was fiercely protective of her little sand balls.
