Pretty Gannets

I've missed catching up regularly with my blogging friends over the past twelve months, but am happy to be sharing with you again today.

With easing of cross-border travel restrictions, a good friend and I decided on a 9 day visit to Victoria's Great Ocean Road (from South Australia). Wishing to enjoy the journey, we arranged a couple of overnight stops, one of them being Portland just over the SA/Victorian border.  This was a deliberate choice because we wanted to visit the Gannet Colony at Point Danger - what a delightful experience!


The white tops on the island are all Gannets !!!

..... and so began a visually spectacular adventure!

I have twice visited the Northern Gannet colony at Île Bonaventure, Québec, and it is always an incredible experience, filled with sensory overload. Perhaps one day I will have a similar experience in Australia.
