Thierings on Tour

Barn Hill lived up to its community vibe as there were Sunday Markets there in the morning and lots of people. The Wild Girls, as they have called their collective gaggle of girls decided to set up a stall at the markets to paint nails and to sell a few unwanted items. Surprisingly, they actually did really well and were happy to walk away with about $10 each.

Scarly was too busy with the farm animals, feeding the “skinny pigs” as she calls them all the slightly questionable lettuce leaves we had. There was also a very cute little baby goat that kept pestering its mama goat – I definitely sympathised with the mama though…

We enjoyed a slow start to the day and eventually migrated down to the beach. It was a little windy, but the sun shade managed to stay up and everyone was happy to dunk in for a dip, to play a game of beach cricket (the kids won against the dads) or to roll around in the sand if you are Scarly. That’s literally her favourite thing to do at the beach, she dives in head first and rolls in the sand, ha ha.

It was the perfect relaxing morning and after a lunch break back at camp we headed back to the beach for round two of swimming, fishing and finding shell treasures near the rocks.

We all loved catching up so much and were sad at the thought that we won’t see each other again on this trip. 

Barn Hill provided another stunning sunset and we enjoyed a delicious curry cooked by the station.
