Four Proven Tips to Smash Your Debt
For many people buying a home and taking out a
mortgage will be the biggest financial commitment they
make in their life. The way in which we manage that
mortgage has a huge impact on our financial future.
If a credit card makes payments for certain items easier no
problem, use your money not credit and utilise a Visa or
Mastercard debit card.
Too often we see people who have found themselves
feeling like the mortgage is weighing them down, or is a
noose around their neck, however with some proactive
money management you too could be one of the
hundreds of thousands of Australians who have built their
wealth from property.
Making fortnightly
repayments can have a
big impact, minimising
on interest over the long
term. Through this
strategy you essentially
make 13 monthly
repayments over the
course of a year, rather than 12.
Here are some proven tips that we guarantee will set you
on the right path.
Know your Numbers
Being aware of
what you have
coming in and going
out is the first step
to taking control of
your mortgage. An
understanding and
control of your
expenses will have
a bigger impact on
your financial position than the interest rate on your loan.
Determine what your income is after tax. Work out your
expenses (fortnightly or monthly) and factor in your
mortgage repayments. Simply by seeing where the money
is going you’ll be able to make better decisions about your
spending priorities. Check out our Smart Money tool that
makes managing your money easy.
Cut your debt
If you must have a
credit card then make
sure you only have
one!
Some people have
cards for points. That’s
fine but understand
you need to spend
close to $60,000 per year to get value from these points
and if you are paying interest on the credit card the
benefit is often gone.
Remember reward points weren’t invented to just benefit
you.
Direct your income
This extra month’s repayment helps reduce your principal,
which can potentially save thousands in interest
repayments over the life of your loan. When extra funds
come your way, like tax refunds, put them straight into
your home loan as well – it can really make a difference in
the long term.
Compartmentalise your Income and expenses
Experience has shown us when it comes to managing
money and debt if all your expenses and income are paid
into the one account it can be hard to have total clarity
over where you are at. We use a number of proven
strategies that work when it comes to reducing debt and
making the most of your money. For example, for many
people we recommend to have their pay directed straight
to their mortgage and then drawing a set amount to live
on each fortnight or month. Putting the money in separate
‘jars’ helps our clients to get greater clarity on spending
whilst effectively paying extra into their home loan and
paying debt off quicker
Take Control Now
The key to all of this is to be proactive and take control.
A Mortgage advisor should do more than help you select a
product from your existing bank or the one you have heard
is great from a friend. Our role is to understand where you
are at and where you want to go and provide lending
solutions to help you get there.

results with people just like you. Contact him directly on

Riffing With The Suspended 4TH
Today we will be rocking out with a classic suspended 4th
riff popularised by none other then Mr. Keith Richards (or
Mr. Health as my Grandma calls him).
This is a progression in E going from E to A.
Play the E chord at the 9th fret with the bar of your 1st
finger then use your 3rd and 2nd finger to play the
suspended 4th fill.
To play the A, wrap your thumb over the top of the neck
and use it to fret the A note on the low E string. This
leaves your 4th finger free to play the suspended 4th fill
on the 3rd string 7th fret.
This suspended 4th riff appears in hundreds of great
rocks songs.
Here are just a few to listen out for; Alright Now by Free,
Rock and Roll All Night by Kiss, Its Late by Queen, Shoot
Shoot by UFO, Rosalie by Thin Lizzy and Brown Sugar by
The Rolling Stones.
Can you hear any more?
Stay tuned for the September Vibe for some
classic Rock N Roll licks.

Baby Greens & Haloumi
Omelette
This is my favourite breakfast when I don’t feel like
carbohydrate. Its success lies in the freshness of the
greens and the quality of the haloumi. I have a random
assortment of flat leaf parsley, silver beet, roquette,
spring onions and, dare I say it, kale growing in my
garden at any given time. So I just tear off a generous
handful and throw them into the whisked eggs. I know
I’ve been very mean to kale in previous issues, so I have
included it in this recipe as a very worthy candidate.
What you Need:
2 x free range eggs
2 x tbsp haloumi cheese
Big handful of: flat leaf parsley, kale, silver beet, roquette
Splash of red chili oil*
Splash of milk
What you Do:
Whisk the eggs with the milk. Add the chopped haloumi.
Use a non stick fry pan and gently fry off the greens in
the chilli oil.
Pour in the eggs and allow them to form a decent cooked
base before folding the omelette over with a spatula.
Slide omelette onto a plate and serve. And some crunchy
toast if you’re starving.
*Easy to make - finely chop a red chilli and place it in a
jar of olive oil. Keeps for ages in the fridge.
**Good haloumi is available from the local
supermarkets. If you go for one that is white rather than
yellow then you’ve made the right decision.

Hoarding Unhinged
Why is it so hard to throw things away? We’re happy to
throw out clearly defined garbage but when it comes to
old possessions it’s quite a different story. The nebulous
line separating rubbish from stuff that’s truly worth
keeping seems to always creep towards accumulation.
Perhaps it’s because shedding possessions makes us feel
that we are getting rid of life; sending out parts of
ourselves into the universe to face a future as landfill or,
if we’re careful, as recycled objects that charm
themselves into the intimacy of someone else’s life. The
private nature of hoarding doesn’t seem such a bad
option after all.
You’d think that by moving outside, into the open space
of the backyard, we’d be free from the shackles of
choice. But interestingly, we haul the burden of cleansing
into whatever environment we move into.
Over winter (several winters if I’m to be honest), I’ve
accumulated so much junk in the backyard. Swathes of
leaves, overgrown shrubs, broken bits of backyard
furniture and objet d’art (a term I use compassionately
for dejected whims of creative behaviour) have truly
cluttered my outdoor living space. So I decided to rent a
skip for the weekend. When the skip arrived bright and
early the next morning (at my
request) and after the initial
excitement at the prospect of
finally cleaning up, I was hit
with a kind of post purchase
dissonance, fuelled by the
realisation that I had a whole
lot of back breaking work to
do.
Faced with an overwhelming
situation I always opt for
maniacal control. Step 1:
Reconnaissance. First port of
call was the sheds. Once I
hustled my way through a
gang of surly garden tools whose moving parts were
paralysed by salt and rust, I noticed what a large
proportion of shed space I’d donated to empty plastic
planting pots and tomato stakes. Even by Southern
European standards there were way too many stakes and
I really can’t remember the last time I potted up cuttings
from perennials, roses, fruit trees, hydrangeas or any
other plant life for that matter. So the pots went. The
excess tomato stakes are ear marked for a passionate
gardener friend I have in mind.
Now it was time to survey the yard. The incredibly helpful
skip guy told me to layer the skip to maximise volume, first
with garden clippings and then add the heavy stuff, like
furniture, on top. Sounded like a fusion recipe that
justified getting out the electric hedger. A buzz cut later,
and I’d added the first layer to the skip.
Some time back my sons obligingly climbed onto shed
number two and chopped down some branches from the
neighbour’s gum tree which drapes over the shed roof. I
was hoping to capture a little more sun in the backyard.
Unfortunately it didn’t really
help as the sun is blocked by
the much higher tree
branches. But the boys had a
good time, so something was
gained. Since then, the
massive branches have been
lying dormant in the
backyard like a gloomy
monster. While it was
sleeping I gave it a few chops
and hurled the lot into the
skip.
I really hate the dark, so it
quickly became apparent that thinking of other ways to
increase light became my focus and motivation.
The next culprits were a couple of old climbing geraniums
whose outrageous growth had begun to outweigh their
pretty purple and red blooms. One had sprawled itself
over the garden shed and the other was clinging in the
dark onto the back fence. I did have a moment’s
hesitation. A kind hearted friend of mine finds it
painstaking to rip out any plant, no matter how overgrown
or unattractive. By her reckoning, it’s life after all. She is
much nicer than me. My hesitation was fleeting, especially
when I realised how easy it was to haul them both down
and tug out their weeny root systems.
Next was the passionfruit vine. Years ago in my suburban
Melbourne backyard I had planted a passionate fruit vine
on a side fence which produced an abundance of fruit
every year. When the kids were little they would sit at the
island bench after school scooping out the juicy sweet pulp
faster than I could cut the fruit in half. When I moved
down here I thought I could replicate this idyll. So I planted
a pair of vines at the back of a garden bed behind a row of
fruit trees, assuming the vine would climb up the trellis
and onto the shed roof to chase the sun. But it had
different ideas. Instead of growing upwards, it grew
outwards, grabbing onto the fruit trees with criminal
intent. Despite my genuine attempts to rehabilitate it and
encourage it to grow up the trellis, the vine out-muscled
me, hell bent on strangling the fruit trees. It became a kind
of war which I never won. I wouldn’t have minded so
much if it was gracious enough to throw me a few fruit.
Every year it would seduce me with its amorous flowers.
But they never, ever turned into fruit. To be honest, the
vines had become a sullen shroud. I’d really given it my
best shot; but it was time to give up. I couldn’t kid myself
any longer.
It was an exhausting weekend. By Sunday night the skip
was so jam packed you couldn’t squeeze in a soupçon of
anything. After a meticulous rake and sweep of the
backyard it really looks neat, tidy and ordered.
The skip has now gone and I don’t miss a single item that
was tossed. Now when I look outside the yard looks twice
the size. But while I have a clearer vision, I’m really not
sure what the next step should be.

People have been clamouring for the arrival of this game.
The game is bigger than Texas, well much bigger in fact,
boasting 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 unique planets all
with their own unique ecosystem. Each planet will have
unique plants with unique animals roaming its surface. If
a player wanted to visit every planet in the game it would
take 585 billion years.
No Man’s Sky is also beautiful in a sort of 1950’s retro
stylised look. The planets, the animals and the vegetation
are all procedurally generated. This is where the
computer has a huge bunch of variables and mixes them
together to produce what looks like unique art. Sort of
like Mr Potato Head but with millions of pieces. So the
game is mind bogglingly vast with unique and beautiful
planets inhabited with bizarre creatures. What could
possibly be wrong with that?
Well judging by the hype train that has just pulled into
the station, nothing. Audiences were overwhelmingly
excited by the gigantic sandbox of a game. But here is the
thing about games: it’s not really what it looks like or
how big it is, it’s all about the doing. If we wanted to just
look at stuff we would go outside or watch a film. Games
are all about the doing. What are the challenges and
how is the player rewarded for completing those
challenges?

No Man’s Sky is supposed to borrow heavily from Minecraft
and it has a great deal of crafting. So here is the problem
with that: it’s like they took half of Minecraft and forgot
about the other half. They have the gathering sorted they
just don’t have enough things to do with the resources you
have gathered. In Minecraft it’s all about building. In No
Man’s Sky it’s about flying to the centre of the universe.
Not really an immediate reward. There are other things to
do but none of them are really that compelling. I’ve played
the game for about six hours and maybe it gets a bit more
exciting after twenty but I doubt that.
At the end of the day, I found it all tediously boring. Hunt
for resources fill up your insufficient resource slots and fly
to the next planet. There just aren’t enough unique rewards
for the endless grinding the game is asking you to
complete. Maybe if you were looking for something slightly
Zen to do rather than looking at your lava lamp for hours
this would be perfect. For me, while it’s beautiful to look at
that just isn’t enough; it’s about the doing. At the end of
the day, a game must give far more than it takes to ensure
a rewarding game play experience.

what we plan to do by employing locals and having
engagement in the community through sponsorship and
charity events. You also need to deliver on your promises
and be true to your word. Be prompt, don’t take people’s
time for granted, and be authentic. I really believe in being
authentic. What you see is what you get. To be successful
in business you have to be able to adjust your way of
operating to suit people from all different types of life; but
you still need to stay true to who you are and let that shine
through. You don’t need to try and be something you’re
not; you just need to have the best education and product
knowledge about your marketplace and the results will
follow.”
Luke Hemmings is one of Australia's most successful
entrepreneurs under 30, motivated by a dream to living a
life of purpose and making the world a better place, and
he’s sharing his secrets to career success.
At age 23, Hemmings started SLY Creative Group which
provides a variety of clients with a range of services from
web design, PR, digital marketing, branding, graphic
design, printing, signage, SEO and copywriting.
“I didn’t have any business management experience when
I started my own company, but I wanted to create success
for myself and I knew I could do it; I had watched firsthand what had created success for other entrepreneurs.”
As they say, the rest is history. Just six months into the life
changing journey Hemmings has built a solid foundation
for SLY and is experiencing rapid growth along the way.
Starting with just one office, the entrepreneur now has six
offices nationally and is just about to expand into the
international market. Having won numerous awards
including Young Australian Of the Year nominee three
years in a row, and most recently, winning Best New
Business, Hemmings’ personal success also gave him the
desire to start helping others around him.
“I thought to myself: I can create these results for other
people, influencing and changing their lives the same way
that I’ve dramatically changed mine. My story is a bit ‘rags
to riches’. I’m not being pretentious saying ‘riches’. But for
me I had a completely different lifestyle four years ago
compared to how I live now. It was just having that
discipline, having systems, connecting with the right
people and implementing our plans. And I thought: You
know what? I’d love to be able to drive this success with
other people.”
“We chose Phillip Island as the next destination to expand
the business due to the amount of major infrastructure
investment occurring at the moment and the strong
population growth. Personally, I believe it’s not about
doing business every day, it’s more about putting back into
that community that we do business with week to week,”
Hemmings says.
“Coming to a small coastal town like Phillip Island you
need to have a strong focus on the community and that’s
“Phillip Island is an opportunity for us at SLY Creative
Group to expand our growing national market to Victoria
and beyond. While Phillip Island is a small coastal town, it’s
also known as a major tourist and holiday destination.
Hosting international sporting events such as the Moto GP
and V8 Supercars, these massive events attract local,
interstate and international enthusiasts to the Island. SLY,
as a culture based company, is very keen to seek
involvement in these events, support local enterprise and
gain a consistent client base to enable us to share our
experiences and success with the local community. So
while Phillip Island plays a role on the world stage, it has
not lost its seaside town charm. At SLY, we are committed
to doing our absolute best to help the local community
prosper and grow.”
Hemmings says Phillip Island presents a central location,
with strong street exposure and generous space to support
future growth. “We’re looking forward to embedding
ourselves into the Bass Coast business community. It’s a
place that’s growing and we have already received so
much support now that the word is out there. So I’d like to
extend an invitation to local business owners to help
celebrate the opening of our new Phillip Island office early
in 2017.”

Celebrity Murders
By Leon Herbert
A fascinating mystery series by our
off-shore crime writer
Wood, star of West Side Story, and Oscar nominee, met
her end. That inquiry might yet overturn a verdict of
accidental death returned by a Californian coroner.
WHO MURDERED NATALIE WOOD?
Three monks - Seppo, Kinzan and Ganto - were in the
temple garden. Seppo noticed a pail of water and pointed
to it. Kinzan said, “The water is clear, and the moon is
reflected. “No, no,” said Seppo, “it is not water, it is not
moon”. Ganto kicked over the pail. Zen Mondo
“Tell the truth and run.” Yugoslav proverb
Asked in a TV interview if he believed Wagner, star of Hart
to Hart and a host of films, was “responsible” for Miss
Wood’s death, he replied: “Yes, I would say so. Yes.”
Asked if he meant “foul play”, or that Mr Wagner had not
wanted to look very hard when his wife went missing, he
replied: “I think it was a matter of: 'We’re not going to
look too hard, we’re not going to turn on the searchlight,
we’re not going to notify anybody right now.’ We didn’t
take any steps to see if we could locate her.”
It could have been the prelude to a thriller: the starred
Hollywood couple arguing drunkenly in a remote island
restaurant, watched by their male guest, a handsome
younger actor, the subject of the husband’s jealousy. The
return to the luxury yacht moored out to sea in the subtropical darkness, then more arguing between man and
wife. A thud, then silence, and a body overboard. No call
to the rescue services until it was too late.
This is how the actress Natalie Wood died, according to
Dennis Davern, skipper of the yacht she owned with her
actor husband, Robert Wagner. The guest in that
restaurant, who was asleep on the boat when Wood
disappeared into the Pacific Ocean, was Christopher
Walken. Central casting could not have done better.
Wood’s body was found floating in the water a mile away
from the yacht Splendour, off the island of Santa Catalina,
California, on the morning of November 29, 1981. She
was clothed in a nightgown, socks, and a down jacket.
There were two dozen bruises on the body, consistent
with having slipped while trying to tie up a loose dinghy,
or board it. The 13ft dinghy was later found beached on
the island. At the time of Wood’s death, Hollywood was
awash with speculation that Wagner was consumed with
jealousy over his beautiful wife’s liking for Walken.
Recently, almost 30 years to the day, Davern re-ignited
that mystery, claiming that Wagner was “responsible” for
his 43-year-old wife’s death. The allegation came as Los
Angeles police re-opened the investigation into how
Recently, LA County Sheriff’s Department said Wagner
was not a suspect in the case, but its re-opening can bring
no comfort to the 81 year-old actor.
Relating the events of that night, Davern said he had
wanted to turn on the vessel’s searchlight and call for
help, but Wagner told him: “We don’t want to do that
right now.”
The skipper said he called the US Coast Guard but only
after four hours, a delay he deeply regretted. Wagner has
always maintained that he thought his wife had gone to
shore alone on the yacht’s dinghy.
Davern also alleged that Wagner had wanted the
subsequent investigation to remain “low profile”. In
deference to his employer, he had not told investigators
the full truth of what occurred that night.
“I made mistakes by not telling the honest truth in a police
(Continued p14)
14
report,” he said.
The new investigation follows a statement by Davern to
police. It was given to them by the author Marti Rulli,
with whom the skipper co-operated on a 2009 book
about the affair, Goodbye Natalie Goodbye Splendour.
Sheriff's Department in November 2011, and last year a
coroner changed the cause of death from drowning to
"drowning and other undetermined factors."
The daughter of Russian parents who immigrated to San
Francisco, Natalie rose to fame as a child actress and
appeared in Miracle on 34th Street at the age of just 11.
She starred opposite legendary James Dean in Rebel
In the statement, Mr Davern said there was a “tense
atmosphere on the boat” and that Wagner clearly did not
want Walken along. Davern told CNN: “The tension was
building very strong. Christopher and Natalie were sitting
on the sofa. Within a split second Robert Wagner picked
up a wine bottle and smashed it on the coffee table and
yelled 'what are you trying to do... my wife?’
If Warren Beatty had been on board that fateful day he
might also have served as a catalyst, maybe even a
suspect, for the cause of her death. He was not on board,
however the legendary womanizer and actor nominated
for 18 Academy Awards had been her lover.
In excerpts from her personal diary, painful details of the
tragic Hollywood beauty’s passionate romance with
Warren Beatty are revealed for the first time.
“Neither Warren nor I was ready for a permanent
relationship,” Wood confessed in the emotional writings
uncovered by the National Enquirer, a magazine well
known for exposing the love affairs of the Hollywood set.
In her diary Natalie wrote:
Without A Cause and in many other movies. She also
starred in a number of musicals, including West Side Story
and Gypsy. At the time of her death, Wood was filming
Brainstorm with Walken, which was later released
posthumously.
“Although our romance lasted approximately two years,
our affair was a ‘collision’ — a combination three-ring
circus and five-alarm fire.”
Davern, the skipper, continued in his statement“Christopher got up and went into his state room. Natalie
was so devastated she went into her state room. Robert
Wagner followed Natalie and they continued arguing in
her state room.
The legendary lady killer met Wood when they played
young lovers in the Oscar-winning 1961 drama, Splendor
in the Grass. At the time, the first of Wood’s two
marriages to Robert Wagner was ending. The affair
ended shortly before she re-married Wagner in 1972.
The case had been reopened by the Los Angeles County
“I went up on the bridge and turned on music because I
didn’t want them to think I was eavesdropping on their
personal problems. There was a lot of physical activity
going on in the stateroom. Noises.
“Then they went to the aft deck. They argued back there
for a little while, then it became silent. I went down to the
aft deck and Robert Wagner said 'Natalie is missing’ and
would I search the boat.”
Later he returned and Mr Wagner told him the dinghy had
gone.
“I knew she wouldn’t take the dinghy because she was
deathly afraid of water.”

Warren Beatty, one of his wife’s admirers, with a gun.
Walken, 68, who was appearing with Wood in the film
Brainstorm at the time of her death, has never
commented on the affair. Wood’s sister, Lana, said she
had never believed her brother-in-law’s version of events
Well readers of The Vibe: for months afterwards, Wood’s
death was the main topic of conversation at Hollywood
dinner parties. Many believed the glamorous Wood was at
the centre of a love triangle, in which her older husband
was pitched against the younger Walken. Why, it was
asked repeatedly, would the actress, who was afraid of
water, go on deck on her own late at night to tend to a
dinghy?
Walken starred in a Steven Spielberg movie in 2002 with
the prescient title: “Catch Me If You Can”. Perhaps the title
provides a pshysic clue, but there’s more!!
In Walken's opening scene, he's giving a speech to a local
Rotary Club: He said:
According to Davern, the actor did not want to radio for
help immediately because he was concerned about his
public image.
Two years ago Wagner confirmed in his book Pieces of My
Heart that he and Mr Walken had argued on the boat and
Miss Wood got up and went to her room.
Wagner said he then smashed the wine bottle but he and
Mr Walken got some fresh air on the deck and calmed
down. When he went back to his room his wife had gone.
He and Davern found the dinghy missing and assumed
Wood must have gone to shore. He radioed for a boat and
went to look for her.
Alan Nierob, Wagner’s spokesman, said: “Although no one
in the Wagner family has heard further from the LA County
Sheriff’s Department about this matter, they fully support
[their] efforts and trust they will evaluate whether any
new information relating to the death of Natalie WoodWagner is valid, and comes from a credible source or
sources, other than those trying to profit from the 30-year
anniversary of her tragic death.”
Born Natalia Nikolaevna Zakharenko to Russian immigrant
parents in San Francisco, Wood appeared in many
memorable movies.
From the time she was a teenager, her love life was
turbulent and frequently unhappy. She had numerous
affairs with many of Hollywood’s male stars, including
Dennis Hopper, Warren Beatty and Frank Sinatra. She
married Wagner, a clean-cut leading man, in 1957 but they
were divorced five years later. Both went on to marry
other people and have children but remarried in 1972.
Wagner has admitted to a jealous temperament. In his
autobiography, he described sitting outside the house of
"I stand here humbled by the presence of Mayor Robert
Wagner and our club president, Jack Barnes. Most of all,
I'm honoured to see my loving wife Paula and my son
Frank Jr....aw, stand up. Come on, sitting in the front row.
(He added)
Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse
quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse wouldn't
quit."
Anyone else find that a little strange? Don't you think
Walken would feel a little strange using the name 'Robert
Wagner' and then telling a story about a drowning? Makes
one wonder but then he didn’t write the script unless it
was an impromptu speech!!
Stunning Birding in Baringo
16
There is an island in the middle of the lake and as we drew
closer, we saw the mansion of a nest that Hamerkops had
Lake Baringo is home to 450 species of birds and thus a
paradise for bird-watchers. There are two activities that
provide excellent birding opportunities: a walk up to the
escarpment overlooking the lake or a boat ride on the lake.
Eurasian Swallows, Fish Eagles swooping in for their catch
and various Kingfishers were some of the highlights when I
visited Baringo. It was spectacular!
Kenya is a spectacular destination for birders and this
article will describe the species you can expect to see at
Lake Baringo as I tell you about my experience there.
Lake Baringo is home to 450 species of birds and thus a
paradise for bird-watchers. There are two activities that
provide excellent birding opportunities: a walk up to the
escarpment overlooking the lake or a boat ride on the lake.
The walk takes you through scrubland where you can see
woodpeckers, ostriches, and we even saw a Verreaux’s
Eagle-Owl. But I think the boat ride is really special and the
birds we saw that morning were incredible.
We set off at 7 o’clock in the morning so we could make the
most of the waking activity on the lake. Within a few
minutes we saw a Pied Kingfisher posing perfectly on a
branch followed closely by a Fish Eagle that had just caught
a fish! There he stood proudly on a tree with a fish held
firmly in his claw. A beautiful Malachite Kingfisher tried to
retreat into the bushes, but wasn’t quite quick enough.
One area of the lake is covered in water lilies and we
spotted an African Jacana picking its way through the
foliage. The hippos also like that area and we were greeted
with grunts from the herd as we passed. A flock of Eurasian
Swallows flew in and arranged themselves on a dead tree
protruding out of the lake. Local fishermen prefer the early
morning for their work and we saw quite a few in their
dugout canoes (not what I would like to be in when hippos
are around!).
built, but unfortunately we didn’t spot the residents. One
fisherman feeds the Fish Eagles for the visitors each
morning and so we watched the spectacle of a Fish Eagle
swooping in for the catch. We continued around the island
and there we found two Water Thick-knees paddling in the
shallows. The island is rocky on one side and we were lucky
to see some rock hyraxes and a monitor lizard basking in the
sun. We also saw two Madagascar Bee-eaters in a tree and
a Long-tailed Cormorant perched on a rock drying its wings.
As we returned to the camp, the boat came close to the
shore where Lesser Masked Weavers were busy building
nests. And finally, just when we thought we had seen
enough, a Pied Kingfisher appeared from seemingly
nowhere, dove into the water in front of our boat and
emerged with a fish! Spectacular!
