Loch Ness Monster Sighted At Keswick Island!

lol. I know you may not believe me... but take a look at the photo below for yourself!


Yes you're right... It's not our beloved 'Nessie' but a hump backed whale that happened to pass our deck the other day. But do you think they'll breach or hold still for a decent photo? Not a chance!

The weather's been fining up with the NE winds bringing back sunshine and good weather. We've been having more bbq's down at the beach. Here are some photos taken last Saturday night for an impromptu bbq dinner.


Kevin & Loretta - House owners that Glen, Ben, Steve & Brian are working for.Lovely couple.


This is Lee. One of the newer builders on the island. He recently bought 'Hammer Time', a beautiful cat launch that has been making many trips over to the mainland.


This is Lee's brother, Ross. He's working here as well. We met his girlfriend Tracy, from Townsville, a few weeks ago. It's good to see a new couple in love!



Lee & Ross' apprentice, Mikey. He's been working on his tan like the rest of the builders here. ;-)


Here's Trent after getting a no. 1 haircut. He went snorkelling and I asked him to test out my new underwater camera. Here's one of the shots he took below...


Preeettttyyyy...

Speaking of which... I don't have a photo unfortunately, although I could have snapped one at the time. We were sitting on our deck, as usual, enjoying the view and watching out for whales. Trent was snorkelling, so we could see him from where we were sitting.

The next thing we knew, there was a big squeal of surprise and Trent literally jumped out of the water onto a bommie and started yelling for Richie to bring the tinnie over... Well who'd have though it? It was a big shark that met him eye-to-eye as he was snorkelling around the bommie that gave him a scare. Can't say I blame him really! Now we have a new saying for loud screeches on the island -- 'The Trent Squeal'. ;-)

How's this for yet another beautiful sunset at Keswick Island?


But it does get cold... Especially in June. Here's proof.


Yes, that's Lyn with my furry blanky on, complete with ugg boots and all... :-)

We had a nice visit from Pam & Steve Cass and their 2 boys who were staying over from Colorado, US. What a lovely family they are.

Here they are on our deck.


Here's one of the builders, Ben, relaxing on our deck just before he left to go home for the weekend.


Here's Brian & Lyn Kinderman on their deck on yet another beautiful day:


Here's a lovely couple we met at the Guest House, B3 (Brian) & Sam:


New landowners, Keith & Joy, kicking up their heels at the Guest House. We always have a great time there:


Well that's all for today's post. Hopefully I'll have a decent whale movie to add to my blog soon.

Take care and don't forget to come and visit us here! :-)

Warm regards
