Thierings on Tour

It was great not to have to pack up and drive anywhere today and we probably do need to try and do less driving each week so we can have longer stay stints. Hopefully it will also help with the car passenger dramas we’ve been experiencing! Scarly was so excited to have a playground a few sites down from us.

Our keen fishermen and women headed to the boat ramp to try their luck, but it was slow going. So instead we drove out to the Barramundi centre in town to have a look. We didn’t realise it is only open a half day on Sunday so we couldn’t join the tour to see the giant live barramundi in the tank, but the interactive displays were fascinating. The kids big and small also got to pretend to catch a big barra…

It still amazes me how Barramundi starts life out as a male species and then changes sex to become a female later on. Nature is truly incredible! 

Next we grabbed some local fresh prawns and Sophie & Oscar cooked up a feast of crumbed fish. Given we didn’t have to drive anywhere else and it was Sunday we decided it would be rude not to have a drink. 

The older kids (now self-identifying as Wild Girls) had a blast at the pool. It does amaze me though just how cold all the pools are, lucky it was a really hot day so it didn’t feel as icy as normal.

We decided to head back to the Sunset Tavern for a few afternoon drinks and dinner. The sunset wasn’t quite as spectacular as yesterday, but it would be rude not to share a photo!
