There are no shops on the island and we discovered later that the papers can be delivered to the little shed near the jetty, provided one ordered them earlier. My husband caught the ferry across the waterway to Macleay Island - it is less than 5 minutes away - to get the paper and check on the restaurant.
I'd been to the restaurant before - so suspected that they would let us sit in the outside area with Kramer, and sure enough they did.
We spent the morning reading the paper, walking around some of the island, and then taking a drive before lining up with others who were going over to Macleay and Kramer was carried on to the ferry. He is such a cute dog, he gets a lot of attention and just loves it. It doesn't matter where we go, people come up and ask to pat him, or cuddle him!
He wasn't keen on the walking, but we've discovered if we give him a push on the rear end, he will walk. Like pushing a broken down car sometimes!
We arrived at the restaurant, the Blue Parrot, and were shown our seat undercover, but in the sun and out of the biting cold breezes. And we had a lovely meal.
Kramer sat at our feet quietly, though even then people came up to us wanting to talk about him, or pat him. I think I read somewhere that if you want to make some friends, take a dog. From experience I'm sure it would work. Take a cute dog though!
We returned back to the cottage, and had an afternoon sleep - after all, we'd been sleep deprived because of Kramer's antics.
Later we went for a longer drive, and I think we've passed all houses on the island. There are some beautiful houses - we are really going to consider moving there.
It is so peaceful.
On Saturday night we created a comfy bed for Kramer on the floor in the loungeroom. We believe that he spent the night on the lounge chair!
