ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER ISLAND IN AUSTRALIA

December 17 Yesterday. A 10 minute car ride from home base,

then drive the car on the ferry and 45 minutes later drive off onto Straddebrook island with 75 miles of sandy beaches. Mom loved it. She spent 5 hours riding the waves. I rode the waves for awhile then sat on a beach chair covered with towels to avoid another sun burn. The lifeguards place flags in the sand and you are directed to swim between the flags to avoid riptides. 

It looked like an island paradise for the young. Camping tents fitted the beach and even McDonalds had an event going on with two big tens with their insignia on the top of the tent. Mia ferried over earlier with some of her friends and we never saw her all day. It is a beach beach with plenty of places to have fun.

The picture by the way is Mom feeding the Loraleets at the Koala preserve.
