Angus Darcy can swim

It seemed like a good idea at the time, but floating your Cabbage Patch doll down a waterfall is not the smartest idea...

Cause you've got to take pics of such a hilarious occasion
On the weekend Kara and I went "Down South" and saw lots of things in between Albany and Walpole, including the Circular Pool, which is coloured brown because of the saponin in the water (see, I read the information panel).

Angus had been swimming earlier that weekend (at Green's Pool) and for whatever reason I thought it would be hilarious to see him go over the falls at Circular Pool. And it was! Until we didn't catch him at the bottom and he floated further and further away... The picture below shows me shouting "Argh, I can't swim in there, I can't see the bottom and there's probably fish that'll eat me!"

great shot of my butt Kara!
That's where the quick thinking Kara came into action - she ripped a branch off a tree with her bare hands and stirred the waters so that the current brought Angus to shore. She's so smart!

So lesson learned -  Cabbage Patch dolls float because they have big plastic heads, but unless you can swim to save them don't float them down waterfalls.
