Siamo ormeggiati qui da un po’ di giorni. Questo tempo sta tirandola davvero per le lunghe. Oggi scade la prenotazione del posto barca, così molliamo tutte le cime che hanno saldamente tenuto Julia lontana dal pontile sotto vento a lei e riponiamo tutto l’arsenale di parabordi tirato fuori per l’evenienza. Prima di disormeggiare, però, passiamo al paese dei balocchi: prendiamo un nuovo filtro del gasolio (dopo aver visto le condizioni del prefiltro meglio cambiare anche lui), un faro di profondità (il nostro ci ha abbandonati) e un imbuto per la tanica di benzina. Torniamo a bordo, molliamo gli ormeggi e ci mettiamo in rada sempre nella laguna di Simpson bay. Bisogna aspettare le 8:30 di domattina per l’apertura del ponte. Prepariamo la barca dentro e fuori per il lungo viaggio e andiamo a fare refill di benzina per generatore e gommone. Tutto è pronto. Julia è pronta. Noi ci prepariamo con un lungo sonno ristoratore! Ci leggiamo domani! Andrea

*READ CAPTION* We were travelling through country SA when we drove past a dead kangaroo (not unusual for this part of the world), it looked like it had been hit fairly recently, given the bright red blood on the road, so we turned around and checked the pouch. To our surprise, there was a (what seemed to be) uninjured, but likely in shock, baby Joey in the pouch. This is the first Joey we’ve come across so we weren’t entirely sure what to do, we thought it was best to wrap him in a towel (to act like a warm pouch) and find someone to help care for him. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any phone reception to contact anyone, so we drove 45 minutes to a visitor centre in the nearest town. Thankfully the lovely ladies knew exactly who to call and within 30 minutes we had taken the baby Joey to his new home. The wildlife carer who took in this new orphan had 4 other babies that she was caring for, each one needing fed 4 times per day with special marsupial milk and each having their own home made pouch. Joeys can be the size of a mandarin or a small puppy so make sure to have a good look within the pouch. If the Joey is attached to the tit don’t pull it off as it can damage it’s jaw, instead remove the tit. Moral of the story is, if you see a dead kangaroo on the road please please (safely) stop and check the pouch as you might find a tiny orphan looking for its new home.
