Around Town

Tuesday was spent 'around town' with our visitor. A morning walk along the "Boardwalk" (see left) brought us to the sea water pool at the top end of Kings beach. There has been quite a swell rolling in from the Pacific Ocean and the surf is really pounding. Even though we are 4 kilometres from the water you can clearly hear the surf. This shot below was taken looking back down along King's Beach. The waves have left a small 1 metre cliff in the sand so rough have the seas been.


From there it was to "Dicky Beach" named after the SS Dicky which was beached during a cyclone many years ago. Usually you can't see this much of the ship's remains but again the strong swell has washed much of the sand away leaving more of wreck exposed. Rainy and I walked along the beach before returning to catch up with Trish at the Dicky Beach Surf Club for a cool refreshing drink.

It was such a beautiful warm day it was decided to spend the rest of the day either in or beside the pool. As we were going to the RSL for tea I was the designated driver and had little to drink to ensure I was fine to drive. We enjoyed the afternoon with nibbles and drinks.

The meal at the RSL was very acceptable. There was live music too and Trish enjoyed a successful flutter on the poker machines. She also did very well on the chocolate machine winning a bag full of chocolates.

It was a great day enjoyed by all. We headed for bed about 11pm.

This morning Trish and Rainy headed off 60k's north of here to the Eumundi Market and then to have a good look around Noosa. The market is not my scene so I stayed home. However I have been known to enjoy the pub over the road from the market ... but not today!
