Day out fishing at Jumpinpin

We decided to head out with a few mates to Jumpinpin to do some fishing - well they fished - we drank champagne and soaked up some sun!!

Click on the link below and you can see a map of where we went.

One great thing is Ship Shop

Its great - its a boat that comes to the beaches with everything you need. What's more - you can call them on the mobile and they'll come out to you with emergency supplies like Gin, Tonic, Ice and Slice!!

You may note the lack of people - yep - we had the entire place to ourselves - what bliss!!

Rainforest walk last weekend

This is called Natural Bridge and is up in the mountains behind the house. It was a great day out - but VERY windy and a whole branch snapped off and nearly hit someone right next to us!!

Sunrise about 6am this morning - taken from our deck

Sunday Afternoon out with the Dogs

Here are a few snaps of today when we took the dogs down the beach for a walk - this beach is about 15 mins in the car from the house.

It got a bit cloudy and we were almost begging for it to rain as its so dry right now and all the grass is brown and the fronds are falling off the palm trees. Anyway - we got a small sprinkle which was nothing to speak of.

The dogs love the beach and on this beach for about 2 miles, you can let the dogs run - so they get to run about with scores of other dogs its just fantastic - we love it!!

The buildings in the distance are the ones that we see from our deck (see piccies above) and we live up in the hills behind them.
