Day 8 29 May —Mount Borradaile eco-tourism and the Cooper River

These pictures must speak for themselves

 Green ants are said to be a delicacy when made into a drink.  They have also been used for medicinal purposes. Nests containing the ants and pupae are crushed into a paste and inhaled to relieve colds, and the paste can also be put on the forehead to treat headache.

We boarded  a high powered boat to navigate a narrow channel .

 We were informed this would be the last trip through this channel this season due to falling water level. This was confirmed to us by the difficulty and length of time of the return trip requiring frequent stops to clear the boat propellers.
