Lorne by the Sea
Today we explored the town a bit and for the most part just relaxed on the beach. The town is lively because of the summer crowd. The weather is supposed to be extremely hot in the next couple of days and we are ready for it. It is a nice feeling know that we are going to be here for a few days and don't have to immediately rush off to some other destination.
We bought some food at the local grocery store to take advantage of the kitchen facilities. After a tasty pasta meal we set off walking across town to look for a place we could check email. It was unfortunately closed, but we noticed several big white cockatoos squawking and flying overhead toward the mountains.
We followed the street uphill to a small clearing where they were gathering in the tall eucalyptus trees above. I sat for about an hour watching the huge white birds with lime green feathers under their wings fly above me squawking with all their might. Em roamed around taking pictures of them, which became ever more difficult as the sun disappeared over the horizon.
After that adventure we headed back to get some sleep.
