Jellyfush!
Thanks R for letting us know what we saw on the beach at Hamilton Gap. Here's a piccie of exactly what we saw all over the beach that afternoon - so glad I stopped Kev from picking one up as he was about to do!
They were blue bottle jellyfish aka Portuguese Man Of War! However, they were quite little (babies?) - not sure how bad the sting would have been?

They are the tiny kind, and although not lethal, their sting is extremely painful, and can create a bad rash and a couple of hours of excruciating pain. If you do step on one, the best remedy is either vinegar, lemon juice, or something like JIF which has an ammonia base. They're usually around when the water temperature is slightly warmer.
I'm enjoying your blog!
Cheers Raenette.
I like the teacher's blog you have - some cool ideas!
