Simon, that was pretty boisterous beginning at the video. Getting bounced around is always so much fun, Some Guy is going to get lucky to catch Nicole. Smart, educated, sailor, and nature lover. How blessed you are to have your daughter want to spend her holidays with pops.
Nice video! There's a dozen varieties of Grevillea and most grow to about 15ft, some grow as high as 100ft! I'm guessing the island is windy most of the time to see them flat on the ground.
Lovely video Simon, thank you once again. Delightful to have the company of Nicole for a bit, no doubt she's very busy otherwise and you'll surely appreciate your time together. Good on you mate.
Jim It is great my daughter still wants to go sailing with her old man ! She is 23 it hard to arrange holidays with here friends trying to get time off together. Stay safe Jim regards Simon
Ha ha! First to view this new video, 11 seconds after you posted it! Great that your daughter has come to sail with you again! Went snorkelling at Fitzroy Island with my daughter on Wednesday. We went on the tourist boat from Cairns. We were pretty impressed with the coral.
I work in Barakula State Forest, North of Chinchilla. Grevillea longistyla is common on gravely hills and ridgetops. It has brilliant red flowers about this time of the year and looks very similar to the ones in your video. I doubt that it would be the same species. I don't know what the purple - blue one is, I should look it up.
Simon and Nicole. I've done a bit of research and also asked a friend. The blue flower is Evolvulus alsinoidea - Dwarf Morning-Glory or Slender Dwarf Morning-Glory. Family: Convolvulaceae. Apparently it is native to Australia and common, also native to tropical areas in SE Asia, India, Polynesia, Africa and the America's. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolvulus_alsinoides

Alan Couldn't agree more she is going to try kite surfing this year. Stay safe regards Simon
Thank you, Simon. Must be nice to have your daughter on board for a while
Absolutely
Another great video Simon and great to see Nicole meeting up for a bid of daughter/dad time. you stay well and keep out there for as long as you can!
Tony Thanks, will do!
Good onya Simon. Love your uploads, very wholesome. Hope to bump into you up there next season.
I hope so too!
Good to see your daughter still loves sailing with you.
Glenn So do I
Trees at the camp ground are Casuarinas (Casuarina equisetifolia- Coastal or Beach She-Oak).
Lost our Rudder near Great Kepple earlier this year on a 53 ft Hansie .
Anchored there for a week before we could get a Tow back to Gladstone .
Nice video! There's a dozen varieties of Grevillea and most grow to about 15ft, some grow as high as 100ft! I'm guessing the island is windy most of the time to see them flat on the ground.
Thanks for the info!
