The Pudding Cottage is in a great location. walk down to the bus stop turn right and a pretty walkl to general store and pub. I walked to the island at low tide. best in some sort of sandals or shoes that can get wet. As it was breeding season, I took pictures of a few different species of nestlings. The parent birds were upset so I tried to not disturb them. The albatross with Elm tours was good. Great to see the 3 metre wing span flying low over your head. We are independent walkers however sometimes it is good to get the local knowledge. The Penguins , seals, sea lions etc from Elm were worth while. for the non nature experienced people don't get too near to the wildlife. We were disappointed in some international tourists harassing Sea Lions on Allan's beach . A 200+ kg animal could have ripped their child and them apart. stay back 10M! . Scary to watch.
