Heading North- and how to clean


We headed on toward Kingscliff where we were to meet some more relatives. The Sydney area is very rocky. Port Macquarie is similar, but Kingscliff is a bit different. The beaches were much longer than the ones we had been on earlier and there were none of the rock outcroppings and rocks in the water that we had seen before. There are of course lots of gulls which wander around and scrounge. But in most of the picnic areas or most any place where people have been around one finds a faithful ibis. They walk constantly around scrounging. They are neither particularly scared of people nor particularly aggressive. Trina's sister in law is not a huge ibis fan. Her youngest child- same age as Lian- evidently often reports that he had no lunch at school as it was consumed by an ibis. This could be true but on the other hand it seems a lot like the dog ate my homework.
