A walk on the wild side

We had booked an extra night in Bargara just in case we were delayed at the turtle conservation centre but as it happened we were back by 21.30 at the latest so  had a lazy day, swimming in the pool and relaxing in the sun.  We strolled around the gardens of the accommodation which were in parts natural forest, took photos of the lily pond and were almost certain that we had seen something jump into the water. Waiting around for whatever it was to reappear became pointless, everthing in the liky pond remained calm but it gave me the opportunity to photograph what I think were  parrots. On the way back to our cabin we spotted some kind of lizard running across the lawn coming to rest at the far side. He was quite large, about 18 inches long, and he did the decent thing  and posed for a photograph. It seems srrange seeing these creatures in their natural habitat inatead of in cages.

I have taken lots of photos of perfect golden sand beaches which stretch for miles but that's probably because this  coast is well endowed with them. However the beach at Bargara is heavily scattered with black volcanic stones so I've thrown in a couple of photos for good measure.
