Baxter enjoying the coastal holiday. Culburra (it means four winds)- three hours drive south of Sydney. One beautiful week away with only the smell of the sea and the sound of the surf.
Very strange Gothic style house (strange for an Australian coastal town that is)
...with an even stranger tower. Now what would you use that for? The wagon wheel pinned to the wall adds to the absurdity of the design. This house just fascinates me. It is just too spooky- see upstairs curtain pulled aside. Are they watching me?
A daily friend who squawked until bread or cake appeared. He woke me most mornings- even flew into the bedroom to get his cake.
Bird bones found on the beach. There must have been an ocean storm before we arrived.
Sun bleached bird skulls. (Petrels) Most people collect shells. Good for them.
Port Jackson Shark egg case.
Not many photos- too lazy, I confess. For cute holiday snaps like the one below, from last time here, click here.
Hope you have a great week.

That is one eerie looking house.
I'd walk way around it.
Like that spooky house and those skulls.
Maybe you could make some jewellery from them?
Yep that house is spooky.... for anywhere and especially for an Australian coastal town.
I like what you have collected from the beach... and I have never heard of a shark egg case... don't they have live young?
Lovely to read that you have been away for coastal fun.
Thanks for sharing

The beaches love to be combed. Its good for all.
And I never find bones! Ah well, I will not be envious. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them.
Ahhh, sounds like a really nice holiday at the beach.
I think the strange house is quite cool.
Your dog is adorable. And that eerie house looks so intriguing. Love your pics!
Port Jackson sharks are Oviparous- they have eggs. Other sharks are Ovoviviparous- egg, then are born live and some sharks are Viviparous and have live young.
Great holiday pics!
I kept going back and forth between the tow house photos trying to figure out how you made the tower disappear in the first one.
I collect bones, too. In fact, I brought back some wallaby bones from Tasmania when I visited.
woooow the bird bones are coooool!!!!!
My type of holiday - beach combing and taking interesting photos. Have fun with the bones [I set some thin slices in resin once - weird but fun]
Don, The bird bones are beautiful - we have a skull collection from our beach combing over the years here in Alaska. The shark-thing is fabulous, as is the spooky Gothic manse - what a grand holiday! I wanna go, too!
I hope your week has been fantastic, at least the photos show it is!
Now here is an absolutely gray day, you can imagine the feeling of watching your photos with the air on vacation!
thanks for this I'm dreaming!!
A big hug,
Elena
That is houndy licking his chops after scoffing a few sea birds..
he he he
Love your dog! Yes, one interestingly creepy house. A holiday with a bit of mystery is just the ticket. And you were without your beloved sewing machine? :-)
Creepy, odd, strange is always more interesting than 'cute'...and i love the bones! nothing i have ever seen on any beach...
lucky you!
baxter! awwwww
p.s. i wish i could abolish music on blogs too, that is my 2nd most awful annoyance.
What bones! Did Baxter help find them? I never find any on the beach.
Hope you all had a great rest up. That tower looks to me like it just took a swim in the sea.
I love the bird bones and skulls. What a find. They are fantastic to draw.
aaaw great photo of Baxter, I bet he enjoyed his holiday too.
Looks like the perfect spot. Hope you enjoyed your time away.
