Pelicans at Aqua Marine

We crossed Urunga Parade directly in front of Aqua Marine to feed the ducks. Instead of feeding ducks, 15 pelicans swooped in!

Pelicans in front of Aqua Marine

While we often get ducks across the road from Aqua Marine, usually the pelicans stay around the boat ramp (about 50 m from Aqua Marine) to chase any tasty morsels thrown away by the fishermen using the boat ramp.

Feeding ducks as the sun sets over Lake Cootharaba

One of the joys of Aqua Marine is just spending time doing the simple things in life, like feeding ducks as the sun sets over Lake Cootharaba.

The photo was taken near the Boreen Point boat ramp — about 50 metres from Aqua Marine. Normally there are pelicans here, but not on this day.

If you are feeding the ducks, then remember that bread is ‘junk food’ for ducks. We tried feeding them healthier food, like fresh corn, but the ducks did not seem to like it. We reverted to giving them bread, but only in small quantities.

Aqua Marine is available for holiday rental through Boreen Point Real Estate.
