Born at 1.10 am on Saturday morning after a 20 hour labour.
Just gorgeous!!! I'm so excited!!!
We went up the Noosa North Shore for the weekend, which was loads of fun, and of course I'm trying to find out what's happening in Melbourne before I ran out of mobile signal for the weekend. I didn't find out and so had to wait an agonising eternity till Sunday morning when we went to the Double Island Point Lighthouse, where you're high enough to get mobile signal to find out what had happened....
Did I mention I'm excited???
hehehe......
Okay - back to the weekend. We had a LOT of fun. Sue and I went up after work, Hugh, Brent, Ken, Lance and Christine went on Friday morning. We all met at the Noosa North Shore pub at about 6.00 pm on Friday night. Lovely meal, then a 45 minute trip along the highway (aka the BEACH) to get to our camp site. Saturday - a lot of doing nothing... tried to get to the Lighthouse at Double Island Point but the tide was against us. Tried again Sunday morning and had success...
Left about 2.00 pm on Sunday, what an adventure getting to the cutting to the ferry. We drove in water at times - the beach has been badly eroded, and the difference betwen low and high tide was only half a metre... that means that waves come right up to the dunes at low AND high tide....
Anyway, here's some pictures I took.....
 |
| The beach is actually a designated road. I'd taken... maybe... 50 steps from where our campsite was to this location, looking north |
 |
| Footprints mixed with tyre prints.... |
 |
| The sunshine in the middle of the coldest month is just gorgeous.... This was about 7.30 am... I think! |
 |
| Again, I'm loving the mix of people and tyres... I love that they can both share the space. |
 |
| Down near the Lighthouse at Double Island Point is this piece of metal in the water's edge. I really wonder what it's from... |
 |
| Oops.... Lance left his headlights on when we went up the hill. We knew about it as when we were leaving the top of the hill, some people who were climbing up asked us if we were driving the Blue Surf.... The battery was as dead as a Dodo, but in true community fashion, some other 4WD'ers came to our aid. We saw these men again about an hour later helping some other people who were bogged at Freshwater...... the spirit of community is alive and well, and it gives me renewed faith in the human race..... |
 |
| Not long after I took this photo I had an "oh oh..." moment when I was standing on the rocks and the swell surrounded me. The worst that could have happened was I got really wet feet, but I was lucky. |
 |
| I know it's a long way off.... it's the best my best zoom lens could do, but if you look closely at the splashing in the centre of the photo, it's 2 x Humpback whales having a lovely time frolicking in the warm waters of Rainbow Beach..... |
