After time spent chatting and taking family snaps as well as tucking into a simple feed of home made hamburgers followed by cheese cake and apple pie we admired the wonderful things that Tracy's Ipod could do! What a wonderful toy. While we were having lunch we heard a fire truck scream past, then another and then another. We assumed there was something serious going on but really did not take much notice. Tracy asked if we could go to a beach so Billy could play in the sand.We piled into two cars and headed north. Our planned beach was not to be for us today. The fire was across the road and the fire brigade was turning all cars around. We did not want to be casualties of a fire so we about turned and drove in to the settlement of Tomakin to check out the beach there. It was a good choice. There were only a couple of other family groups on the beach. Trousers were rolled up and Billy was given his first paddle in the sea. I think you can see for yourselves that he enjoyed it very much!
After managing to get Billy's clothes wet the young family returned to shore to play in the sand. But after finding that Billy was not only getting all the sand stuck on his wet skin and clothes but trying to eat it too he was returned to the sea to wash it off!
A helicopter with a bucket dangling from a long rope flew over our beach so we assumed that it was heading for the fire just north of us.
We waved farewell to Brad, Tracy and Billy at 3.30pm and we headed further south to search out more bays for more photographs. Our travels took us back to Moyura where we had visited the market yesterday. This time we did not go into the town but turned around to return to our holiday accommodation and to cook the evening meal. It had been a great day and even Graham and Nola enjoyed it - it can be difficult to entertain family and keep non family members happy at the same time!
