Locust Plague

Today was a trip from Quobba Homestead to Coral Bay, Peoples Park. In the morning we had a quick breakfast and started driving to Coral Bay. On the way I listened to my iPod most of the way. Soon, we arrived.

We arrived with quite a pleasant welcome; a locust plague. 'It only arrived yesterday', the caravan park person had said. We got site one hundred and two. We set up and I had a pear. Then we all agreed to go snorkelling. The locusts were still swarming the skies. We put on our swimmers and walked across the road to the beach. It was quite busy but we got a nice spot next to a rock bar.

Dad, my brother and I put on our flippers, goggles and snorkels. I didn't use my snorkel until the end, though. This was because I didn't want to put it in my mouth. But dad helped me. There were LOADS of fish out there. I saw one about fifty centimetres in water about half a metre. We also saw a lot of other marine life.

We saw lots of little fish around the coral too. The biggest one I saw was a about fifty centimetres. There were little black and white ones with big puffy lips. There were some fifteen centimetre ones too. It was really fun watching those fish. I spotted a Flathead soon, too. It was fun to see it and this other one my brother saw. I like it how the fish don't swim away when you approach them, because your on top of the water.

At a depth of about two metres we saw a ray. It had a tail about five centimetres long. What they do to hide themselves is that they stir up sand. That brings up tiny creatures and fish come to eat them. Then the fish hide the ray. It was really interesting to see. My brother and dad also saw lots of other rays.

There was also a lot of brain coral down there. It was over lots of other coral we saw. Fish were scattered around it and they were really pretty. The brain coral is looks like a brain, well, sort of, and is shaped like a big, round rock. There was other spiky coral, but it wasn't as interesting as the brain coral.

Soon we walked back to the caravan, talking about all the things we learnt. We washed all our snorkelling stuff and went back to the caravan. After a bit we went to have a shower. Then we had rice and sausage sauce for dinner. Soon we went to bed. I had a really good day snorkelling! I hope we go again tomorrow!!
