Christmas is nearly here!

This year and in particular, the past month or so, has definitely been an interesting one. The staff at The Anchorage have had a busy year personally, with house building, travelling, sport, school, births, deaths & marriages! We celebrated many births towards the latter half of the year (It appears there wasn't much on tele last Christmas!), there were a few marriages thrown in the mix, and sadly, such is life, some friends passed on. Death always makes one reflect on life and get a reality check...that is, not to sweat the small stuff and appreciate what you've got, while you've got it! Marriages are always lovely, it's so nice to see people eager to begin their lives together. And births just make us all smile. The cycle starts all over again with little baby softness and the wonder of endless possibilities.

We've had a quiet month in the park - which has been great for our behind the scenes work - although the weekends have proven very busy, particularly in the cabins. We have a couple of great specials that are still applicable until the 15th December which is when our busy period kicks in. So if you can sneak away, take a look at those first, see if one suits you and beat the rush.

The fishing has been quite good recently, with some good size tailor being caught at the beaches, along with some good flathead. There's been turtles in the river and at the headlands and of course, the dolphins are always about.

We've had many foreign visitors recently and they've been glad to see all the wildlife about. Our resident possums have been active at night, a big brush tail comes to the bird feeder at Reception to eat whatever bread the birds leave. Bandicoots can often be seen around the amenities block and they are not shy, you can get quite close to take a photo. Our goannas and echidna have yet to make an appearance though and this is probably because the weather is confusing them. Now it's sunny again, they'll probably come out to play!
