The kids were up early and were busy reading books to each other, playing Duplo and hanging out. Our little neighbour from Switzerland had his 4th birthday and we got chatting to the parents about their travel plans of 1 year around the world – wow!
We went for a drive to the jetty and bumped into the boys who had caught a couple of squid. The girls explored the playground and we tried to play a game of giant Jenga, but it didn’t last long with Scarly “the destroyer”. It’s her new nickname for always wrecking everything the older girls build. Hugo, the youngest of the boys didn’t escape Scarly’s wrath of destruction either with his LEGO creations.
We grabbed a few thing from the campsite and headed out in convoy to explore a few of the nearby beaches. On a hot and sunny day there would be so many glorious options to enjoy! Twilight beach definitely had the wow factor for stunning coastline with its crystal clear water, white sand and beautiful rocks. If only it had been a little warmer so everyone could enjoy a swim… a few brave souls in the group did, but it was too cold for the rest of us.
Observatory Point lived up to its name with a cool viewing platform that gave amazing views in all directions.
We thought 9 mile beach might give us a bit more opportunity to swim, but it was the windiest and wildest of them all, so we didn’t even get out of the car there.
Then the masses voted for lunch at Lucky Bay Brewery and it was the perfect spot to enjoy some food, a few tasty beverages and for the kids to roam in the open. There were barrels to roll down hills, a playground, a stage and someone brought a slide and car combo that soon turned into a downhill race track.
It was a fun afternoon and a drunken one for the dads mostly, but everyone had a great time. The kids were exhausted after a huge day and pretty much put themselves to bed straight after dinner.
