To One Mile Beach and So Much
More
   We had a good breakfast served
personally by Will then in the Beast to park near the marina. A look at the
beach, a ‘mum’ in bloom then a little trot around the
grockel shops. The plastic seagulls sitting on a little rock look just the same
as any found in Cornwall. Sadly, just as everywhere that well-known ‘made in
China’ is much in evidence. A group of chaps waiting at the
bus stop. Next we went upward to Nelson Head. There we saw a memorial
plaque on a whale bone.
 We popped in to the Marine Rescue office up the stairs, were warmly greeted
and the lovely staff promised “to keep an eye out for us” next year when we come
by on Beez Neez.
   Next stop was Soldiers Point,
originally the site of a garrison of soldiers that was established in 1820 to hunt down
escaped convicts. Here we saw some chaps, know what we can and
cannot catch and this little
girl is ‘for sale’ at $29,999.
   Then to Wal-Mart for ‘the Colonel’ to get new sandals and on to an oyster farm with a lovely
view.
   Cannot see this as fun, I’d rather eat
my flip-flop raw but ‘the Colonel’ tucked into his
oysters.
  Bear
partook of the proffered ‘creature’ but soon joined Sue and I with our kilo of big chaps.
   Then it was straight in the car, on the sleds, up the slope and
a quick hurtle down on the hill.
   Last bend,
safely at the bottom, mind out
for koala bears and off to the beach.
  Our first sit on Australian sand by
the sea was at One Mile Beach. I watched as ‘the Colonel’ waded in just as the Royal Australian Air Force were
nipping back to base. He soon waded out, not warm and
a chill breeze.
 Bear ventured
in but Sue and I just tested and gave three points for a refusal.
 The nudist beach opposite had nary a
soul bare but the kite surfers had a good time. So
cold was one lass that she succumbed to needing the Beach Rescue lads to warm
her in blankets and snap on an oxygen mask. All done it was time for us to nip
back for a shower, then a swift pint or two before a smashing Indian meal. No
rocking needed once in bed.
ALL IN ALL A FULL AND FUN
FILLED DAY
I JUST MAY HAVE TO
