We generally leave our roof hatches open at night when its warm, and there’s no rain forecast. The hatches have sliding fly mesh to keep the bugs out. Last night the hatches were only open about 3 inches a bloody possum sneaked in and sat in the fly mesh. Barb heard it, got up and then woke Ross. Ross dragged himself out of bed, punched the possum through the mesh and out of the hatch, turned and waddled back to bed.
Over night the ocean has done a complete turn around and delivered up this morning a calmer, swimmable surf beach, and the hordes that have been denied for so long have hit the beach on mass with a vengeance. Ross and Barb we’re heading off along the beach for their late morning walk. The tide was against them with the north point of One Mile Beach only able to be crossed onto Samurai Beach at low tide. A check confirmed it would likely end badly to attempt it, so they backtracked a bit and transversed the hot sand dunes to go around inland.
The backtrack through the dunes was hot and hard work
The track through the dunes led Ross and Barb to the 4×4 vehicle track leading to Samurai Beach
The favourable weather also bought out the nudist, along with a healthy contingent of perverts on the clothes optional Samurai Beach. Ross and Barb headed north along the beach and then into the Tomaree Nat Park. Both ends of the beach were well subscribed with nudists, the northern end near the clothes optional camp area all nudies; and southern end a mix of nudists, perverts and a clothed young family. A strange mix.
After walk through Tomaree, around half way back along Samurai Beach Ross decided to have a swim. Barb wasnt so sure. When on Rome
… Barb arranged the collection of stuff we found along the beach which included a snake of some description along with a huge Rapala hard bodied lure in great condition.
You can only image the danger in walking home dressed as Ross was, carrying this lure
This guy and his kids were enjoying the ability to dunk a perfectly good vehicle into surf, whilst two of the kids were sitting on the roof rack …. got to question his motivation and sense of responsibility
Ross and Barb headed back to camp, grabbed Daniel and headed down the One Mile surf beach for the afternoon. Daniel spending much of that on the boogie board. This time we used a GoPro extension mount to get the GoPro higher than the white wash
Roast beef in the Weber with all the trimmings tonight, whilst we take in the Aust Open on the outdoor TV
