My dog Chloe feels the same. The delights in finding something aromatically delicious (in dog terms) like a dead fish or some rotting bird and rolling in it. Never understands why I take to her with a sponge and coconut dog shampoo the minute we get home.<br /><br />Fiona, I didn't know you were a yachtie-child. And the seal platform is hugely popular — I know whenever I've taken the ferry over from Queenscliff to Sorrento, there's always a crowd at the rail, watching the seals.<br /><br />Nightsmusic, most of the time there's a fresh breeze, so you just have to be upwind and it doesn't stink at all <br /><br />Anne McA, one day you'll be here and we'll take you out to see the seals.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02564152027118499399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239306666900101384.post-45239370814548198712010-06-15T15:28:18.137-07:002010-06-15T15:28:18.137-07:00I'm jealous.

There is bit of a story to the Chinaman's hat. It was built at GREAT cost to the Victorian Tax payer after an old platform wore out and the seals wouldn't use it because they had built the platform too high! They had to add the lower level which bumped the cost up to even more of a three figure number! Marion is right, it sure does stink but being able to see the seals is fantastic.Fiona Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15288636480105248658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239306666900101384.post-69868662925234243752010-05-24T00:12:35.072-07:002010-05-24T00:12:35.072-07:00gorgeous , gorgeous pics and even better descripti...gorgeous , gorgeous pics and even better description. Really took me there.<br /><br />And of course the seals waited until the Chinaman's Hat decayed to appropriate whiff levels. Remember Piglet, having been washed by Kanga, went and rolled and rolled in the dust until he was his own comfortable colour again.
