Tansy Camps
Tansy and her Archaeologist companions traveled to Yeatman Bay and stayed there for this phase of the project.
.
.
She thought she might have to sleep in a hollow tree…
.
.
…and this old stump was almost big enough for an archaeologist to sleep in! The springboard notch was about the right size for Tansy…
.
.
…but in fact her favourite photographer’s tent was big enough for two!
.
.
Tansy helped set it up.

Everyone worked hard all day!!

Tansy helped to make dinner!

At the end of the day, everyone was pretty tired!
To get to this location, the archaeologists had to travel by boat at high tide, from the lab area to the camp site…click on the link below to see their “commute”…we recommend expanding the video to full view to get the full effect!


















Every single photo is breathtaking! Such beauty!!!
Yes, they were so lucky to spend time in that beautiful place!
Certainly one of the most beautiful commutes on Earth!
Wasn’t that an amazing video? It does get slightly lumpier when the wind is blowing….
Sometimes I think Tansy has all the fun.
Sometimes I think so too! It is always nice to have her (and the favourite photographer) back home again though!
Tansy surely seems intrepid.
She is – very much so! Lucky for us, we get to trail along in her wake and see things through her eyes!
Oh my word! how beautiful!!!! I am now following the Hakai institute on Twitter- absolutely fascinating! Your blog is the source of endless delight!
It is a pretty amazing Foundation – they do such interesting and imaginative work on so many aspects of coastal ecology – past, present and future!
Thank you again for including it in your blog! You connect us to the beauty and majesty of your part of the world!
Always learning new things here! Love the photos and the video of the commute! Thanks for the link to their site.
Tansy can’t help herself, she is just bubbling over with good will, fun and adventure.
