Innovative artworks, photography: ARTiculations by Jude Tulloch
I’ve flown the coop to hang out with headless pirates at Scallyways, a cafe that oozes creativity, using repurposed objects eclectically so there’s heaps for the eye to explore while you tuck into a hearty spud meal or indulge in a sweet treat. The playlist is pretty good too.
This breathtaking view along the boardwalk from Nelly Bay to Arcadia (above) transfixed my artist’s eye. What a joy, walking in the National Park observing the different habitats, from mangroves to literal rainforests. With 76% percent of the rocky island being National Park, there are 10 distinct regional ecosystems here. Nine have a biodiversity status “of concern” and one is “endangered”.
Look up when walking in the Eucalypt forests and you will almost certainly find a Koala. There are Rock Wallabies by the ocean at Bright Point in Nellie Bay. The Beach Stone Curlew, one of 17 rare or endangered birds, fossicks in bush nearby the shores.
