When you spend around 7 month's of the year travelling for work it takes a very special place to immediately impress and affect you and Faraway Bay is that place! There are a very few places in the world where I would rather rest my head at night, dozing off with that divine breeze flowing through the cabin, waking to the sheer magnificence of morning in this bay. I won't forget this time ever and I am so grateful to have had the privilege to see this place. Faraway Bay the most relaxing place I have been in a very long, long time.

A mix of weather, guests and animals!
Steve’s mum (Patsy) sighted the elusive Brush-Tailed Phascogale. The name is derived from the meaning pouched weasel and is a carnivorous Australian marsupial. These shy animals are active at dawn and dusk, the males are a little too active in their lifespan, which is only one year due to the frenzied mating they do in their short existence. They are here for a good time not a long time!
The Air Adventure Australia group visited in mid June. This group were travelling around Australia on a photography trip, learning new skills from Ewen Bell a well known photographer. Visit the web site for some great shots of Faraway Bay www.ewenbell.com .
The Burke Family brought in 4 of their adventurous children Sam, Jack, Lilly and Lucy. Steve sent them on a mission to find the turtles that had been sighted by another couple a week or so ago at the billabong. Mission accomplished, they sighted 2 long necked turtles, however, we will need a better look at them to identify exactly which species they are.
