We explored the area by clambering up Decca Hill, the top of which offered excellent views of the lake below; by walking around the lake and by taking the occasional bike ride. We entertained ourselves by having the odd hit of tennis (very much a hit and giggle affair), by smacking around some golf balls (even more of a hit and giggle affair because the so called golf course was that overgrown that finding any stray golf balls was a huge challenge and sometimes took those who participated 1/2 an hour). The "boys" went out on a small boat in the hope that they might catch some fish. All they managed to bring home, however, was a bag full of carp - yuck!
The best form of entertainment, we soon discovered however, was watching the multitude of kangaroos cross from their sanctuary (a smallish island - which I assumed was not normally cut off from the mainland but was at that time separated by water as the lake was VERY full - over to the mainland and back. Very much to our amazement dozens and dozens of kangaroos went through this strenuous exercise numerous times a day (see video clips below).
Our time at Lake Grabine was a unique and very enjoyable experience.

That's cool. When they are in the water is the best time to ambush them for dinner. I think they'd even be OK to eat on Friday.
ReplyDeleteNow why didn't I think of that! What a great idea. Don't know about them being ok to eat on Friday though. Might have to write to Rome about that one.
