Coffee Rock.....another Bribie first.
Fcuk, what don't they Fcuking have?

Bribie island
One minute the object of a romatic wonder of interconnected timeless isolated drifting.
The next & you're dropping dead were you stand

Do you know what Ted Clayton called his swansong masterpiece fishing article, about roaming those very same flats at Whitepatch that Fairweather is walking?

You ready?

The exploration of inner space.

It is a wonderfully meditative and detailed natural history essay as well as an ode to "interconnected timeless isolated drifting."

There's a remote pool that only fills in wet seasons that I've been eyeing off for 5 years, should be primed for my Christmas visit.

Have you gone to that drain we chatted about? Lots of giant herring being caught on the Goldy at the moment.

No, but they are around here now.

Getting back to coffee rock....can we get a geological title for it.
Sandstone?
Conglomerate?
Mudstone?
Basalt?

Indurated sand.

pleistocene origin.

This can go on forever Beany.

Even more than your food posts.

Well there you go. Never heard of coffee rock ever.
And I was a geo. once upon a time.

Exactly...Bribie is a veritable Galapagos of untapped Genetic diversity.

There were emus on the island when I was growing up. Used to come up to our backdoor.

Gone now.

Some say it isn't really rock. Handy if you get perched on some while 4wdriving. A whack with something hammer-like and it breaks off very easily.

There's an albino dingo on the island

yeah, but is it indurated?

I believe baldness is endemic to the island.....and sand crabs.

sand crabs, mud crabs, soldier crabs, pubic crabs.

They are all endemic to the Island.

Which ones are indurated? And is penicillin an option.

Asking for an uncomfortable friend.

Even the emus left when the whiteys built a bridge out of that cnut hole of a place.

Loofy's not taking Bribie Island well at all.
