Ducks bring joy to visitors, young and old

The mysterious disappearance of the local ducks has caught the ire of the local community.

Beauty and tranquillity of this area is created by the natural flora and fauna.

The pelicans' magnificence and the ducks' humorous antics bring joy and a sense of wonder to the visitors, and the local young and old.

Watching a monstrous truck being slowed to a halt, along Woy Woy Rd, by the waddling saunter of a mother duck and her cute baby entourage, surely grounds us to appreciate the wonder of life.

If it does not, perhaps you belong in frantic Sydney?

One rumour suggested that they needed to be culled because they were not native.

The only natives here are the iIndigenous people, so we better all leave, before we are exterminated too.

I am so glad that the sleuths working hard at the Peninsula News are hard on the trail of the mystery.

My phone call to council revealed that Gosford Council has no official connection to this riddle.

I asked Council if they were going to investigate further.

However, there were no plans intended yet to solve the enigma.

This conundrum must not go unsolved.

They have disappeared, but there are no bodies, blood or feathers?

I urge the community to keep a close eye on the possibility of murderous activity.

As a gesture of respect and to bring essential awareness, to the death of "Sir Francis Drake, his wife and extended families."

A group of us will hold a Ceremony of Respect, Appreciation and Love, at the water's edge in a few weeks.

I believe we need to honour our environment so that we can live in harmony.
