DAY 7

Tuesday 9th March

The weather has again put on its best for us today.... so we went for a drive to Scarborough, which is about 6.5 Klm away along the tourist drive. 

It’s a very pretty drive along the coast .... from where we are are at Clontarf / Woody Point... around through Margate, Redcliffe and around the point to the small seaside village of Scarborough. 

Then around to the boat harbour. 

I was trying to capture that black sail boat before it set off but I was too late. It’s called the SV Notorious.  

It’s the only 15th century Portuguese caravel replica in the Southern Hemisphere and was built by a man from Warrnambool Victoria from cypress wood. 

He and his wife live on the boat and travel up

& down the east coast for 11 months of the year. 

It’s an interesting story.

It’s often been mistaken for the Black  Pearl in Pirates of the Carribean...as I thought it was. 

So by then it was lunchtime, we went back to Redcliffe to their RSL club. 

It’s a lovely club with loads of memorabilia from the war. 

I tried to take some photos but as everything was behind glass and was reflecting the light....I really couldn’t capture the true story of it all. 

 We did have a very nice lunch with a lovely view 🐠🐠🐠

Flathead fish , chips & salad!!

Another great day had ...😊😊⚓️🌴
