About Me

The Returd Highway - from Retirement to Oblivion (possibly via incontinence and dribbling or both). We walked 1000 km of it last year on the Bibbulmun Track, but to discover more of the true Oz, we needed wheels (four) and a bed. We just got them. We plan to just take off and make for significant points - how we get there is a matter for chance and circumstance. So hold on to your hats and anything else that might blow off, we'll keep you posted on our voyage of discovery.

Baird Bay

We’re not going to blog every day but just got to tell you about the day we spent at Baird Bay. It’s about 50km down from Streaky Bay on a rough dirt road with nothing much at the end but there’s an eco-tour down there run by an old friend of Maurs, Alan and his wife Trish where they take you out for a morning of swimming with dolphins and sea lions. It was truly magic. You sure get up close and personal with these beautiful creatures. Just an incredible experience. Here’s a few pix but they just don’t do the day justice. Highly recommended.

Mind you they go into the water with a shark shield set to stun. Effective on sharks (hopefully) and people with pace-makers (certainly). I was guaranteed not to be mauled by grey nomad rather than a great white or a bronze whaler.
