This is the life!




Which one is Woz??????????






Monday morning we hitched up the van and drove an enormous and taxing 13 ks up to Main Beach Caravan Park! We are just across the road from Main Beach, about 2 ks north of Surfers, so it's a great spot to catch up on all the local sights, including of course, SeaWorld, which we visited on Wednesday. It was certainly up to what we had been told to expect, on a perfect summer day, not a cloud in the sky, and it's all water, palm trees, and of course, who could forget the creatures we were there to see! The dolphins were breathtaking, the polar bear decided that he would dive under the water and swim around and play with his toys just for us! and the aquarium, well I'm sorry it leaves melbourne aquarium for dead. this thing is huge, with the most amazing variation in fish that you could ever wish to see, from tiger sharks to schnapper, tuna, barramundi, right down to tiny 'nemos', all in the same tank. We would have stood and watched for at least half an hour, it was fascinating. We discovered that the two fish we caught in Nambucca Heads were butter bream, because there were some in the tank!
Warren surprised me for Mothers Day this week, with a night in Surfers, staying at the Gold Coast International Hotel, the view was sensational. We had a great time, it was a good base to wander round the shops and see the sights, and there are some sights to see, I can tell you!
Warren wants to know why all the girls that serve drinks or meals here are gorgeous creatures with blonde hair, long legs and everything else that makes girls girls! If you get my drift. I think it's time I took him away from here! And those meter maids! woo hoo. I thought I might apply for a position, ha ha. We had a bit of a windfall last night, went to the Southport Surf Club which is just over the road from where we are, bought some raffle tickets, and won a monster chicken tray, and I mean monster chicken! it should feed us for two nights! we are now cooking it, as I type, in our BBQ-oven, this thing has been great. Tonight we are going to watch Australia play New Zealand in the Anzac 100 year test, they are showing it on a big screen telly here at the park, so we will wander over with our chairs and drinks, should be fun. Oh, and did I mention, we have been swimming, in the ocean, every day. the hardest decision is which beach to swim at. Ho hum - decisions, decisions! I'll leave you with that thought.
