 Hi this is Deb

 This was our second full day here. Such a pretty spot and so very relaxing. We are camped right by the waters edge, well almost!

We woke around 7am after another good nights sleep, the weather has been much kinder than was forecast. I was imagining nights like we had at Deep Creek last time we were there (extremely windy) mmm the weather kind of wind!!

We went off early to post the cards to the little ones. Post leaves here at 10am! Hopefully the cards will arrive by Tuesday. Then we bought a paper and a cake for morning tea. Mmmmm it is becoming a very nice habit, makes us walk further!!

At 11am we went for a 2 1/2 boat ride around the bottom lake, with a lovely older couple, they were really interesting, we saw a few sea eagles that the couple fed, got a few good photos. Also saw kites, cormorants, pelicans.

Had a relaxing afternoon, then around 4ish we decided to see if we could finish the geo cache we started yesterday. We really missed you Dante and Tessa, took us much longer to find it than it should have, we wished you were with us. It was fun none the less, we went along way out of the way, but had a great walk on the beach and through a track called Pittosporum track that was very lovely. In the end Dante we found the cache right back near the beginning. We were very careful not to alert muggles!! We were very pleased when we finally found the cache.

We have just finished a lovely dinner outside while watching the pelicans glide into shore, then when it rained they all had their mouths open to catch the rain, we have not seen that before. The birds habits are all very interesting. A sign we are getting old!! I have the fan heater going and it is lovely and warm in our tent.

Thanks for all your messages Von, we have said many times how much you would both love it here, but we are enjoying it for you too!

Hope all the McDonalds have fun at the Intercontinental, we look forward to hearing all about it.

Carly hope the tan looks real :-P Hope you have fun at the party

Mum and Dad have a safe trip and give Thomas a hug from us.

Karlien have you got my message??? Sent it to you yesterday when we were in Sale, we were thinking of you both. Greg rang you tonight, but you were probably at the club, will try again tomorrow.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend, love from us both to you all xo
