| Over the New Year holiday, we spent one afternoon at Pebbly Beach, about 270km south of Sydney. While snorkeling, we encountered three enormous sting rays. One gave us quite a fright when it began swimming towards us! Only later did we find out they're not normally aggressive... whew. |

| We encountered dozens of dead Short-tailed Shearwaters, also known as mutton birds, all along the coast. Apparently they die in great numbers every year, usually from exhaustion, after migrating thousands of miles from the Arctic to Australia to breed. |
