Went down to the beach today and came across these footprints in the sand.
Many years of hunting and tracking animals in the wild left me perplexed as to what was being dragged between the feet.
The creature, whatever it was, had come from the dunes and headed straight for the water. Must have wanted a swim. But why?
Never was able to find any sort of return tracks back to the dunes. Must have been real eager to get to the surf to venture out into the open like this, what with wedge tail eagles flying above constantly looking for a meal.
Down at the other end of the beach I found the answer.
Known locally as “marram grass itch” and caused by multiple sand flea bites, the poor bastard with his swollen and inflamed balls must have needed to cool them off.
