The “Apple Isle” again lured the FatCWalking club to its attractions, with the intrepid trio staying once again at Bruny Island, and in Hobart. On Bruny we took an “Eco Tour” boat trip around the southern coast of the Island to “The Friars” – an outcrop of rocks south of Bruny on which live a large colony of large fur seals. At least one of the seals bore a startling resemblance to Quirky. However, given that seals don’t “walk”, I didn’t bother trying to recruit any of them even though in many other respects they appeared amply qualified for membership!
A real highlight of the trip was the arrival of a large pod of dolphins, who swam around our boat, many of them leaping out of the water, often across the bow. Such beautiful creatures, they were worth the entire trip.
