Drama in Bobbin Head!!!!


now that I've got your attention, given that we're living on a yacht, when one reads that title, one might imagine some sort of boating excitement:

a near miss,
overboard child,
run aground.

The reality is that our first day at Bobbin Head was spent at the emergency department of Hornsby hospital after Roo dove head first off the playground equipment in the local park. HE IS FINE. His ear looks like an eggplant but he is fine.

It frightened the bejesus out of us tho, and alerted us to the fact that we are so busy checking out charts and depth sounder that we have no idea what is on the other side of them thar hills.... thankfully we were only a 10 minute drive to the nearest hossy. (extra thx to the parks guys and lady who drove us to the hospital).

Bobbin Head was NOTHING like I remembered (we hired a houseboat here as kids). We had a great couple of days tho' - bushwalking, and taking it very very easy....

High tide on the mangrove walk.

Cubbys are SERIOUS business!
