The Nobbies are at the tip of the Island, and have a natural wonder all of their own. The island that you see in the background is Seal Island. There are many tours out to view the graceful seals in their own environment, but we just enjoyed from the mainland, well main island anyway.
Not bad coastline, with crashing waves and a large swell. We saw Abalone divers, meters from the shore... no thanks, not a job I would be interested in!
This is also the area for the famous penguin parade. The parade is always at dusk, with these fascinating creatures coming up the beaches to their nests after a full day of fishing. While we were there there were still some of the penguins moulting. While moulting they can not go in the water... so they hide in their nests or in dark areas awaiting the food train that will come in when dusk falls.
Another area on the coast was the Pyramid Rock....looks like a tit so Stephen takes a picture!!!!!!! He sees them everywhere.....
