We left camp, followed the boardwalk, crossed the stream and the road.

We read a board warning us that the hot pools can fill with water sixty to sixty four degrees Centigrade, now even I think that’s hot. The beach has a bit of a reputation in these parts. We walk past the newly planted dunes and onto a fairly benign looking, sandy beach.

We were like Goldilocks testing the various vacant holes, and then we found a hot one.

The sun came out and this group showed how it should be done.

Elsewhere there was much digging and settling going on. Spades are five dollars to hire but we saw any number of ‘tools’ from cut down plastic four-pint milk cartons, to Frisbees, kiddies buckets and garden trowels.

The tide coming in gets people shuffling and dressing.
 
 
 
 
 
 
ALL IN ALL THE STRANGEST THING TO SEE AND FEEL
                      UNIQUE AND REALLY WEIRD
