Today we were in Foster and the surrounding area. We started the day with a tour of a local daily farm and saw an operation which produces 4 million liters of milk per year! From there we were off to the Yanakie Hut where we saw a rebuilt historical building and were treated to a lesson in local history from Michael our guide. After a quick tea we headed to a Park Sandy point, where we snuck in a quick dip and had lunch. We wrapped the day by taking a fantastic boat ride around Wilson's Prom to see the fire damage in the wilderness area. While on the boat we were treated to Spoonbills, a sea eagle and some other great water birds. Some images from the day:
