We haven't yet found a crocodile on the beach but we have found sand dollars, crab holes and coconuts. Robin collected the sand dollars. They are somewhat fragile but she found quite a few intact ones. As the crabs dig into the sand they roll it past their legs leaving piles of sand balls. We speculated that the size of the crab is evidenced by the diameter of the sand balls.
After we bought a hammer in Tully we were able to open this coconut that Will found on the beach. It turned out to have fresh juice inside. mmm!
You can also hollow out the coconuts (not exactly sure what that process is) but then you can use the two halves of the coconuts to clap together and have a nice little instrument. There are even coconut dances you can do in a circle where everyone carries one in each hand and you can tap them together, etc. :o) Your blog is so interesting, I'm enjoying it! --Anna :o)
