Elvie's Year in Photos 2011: Day 307 On the Beach

Thursday 3 November

I had a surprisingly quiet day today. Ian and I did a bit of food shopping in the morning ready for this evenings meal then he and Gaz went off to Urangan Pier for some fishing. As always they set off full of hope but caught nothing other than a few herring which are bait fish here and not eaten. Later in the afternoon they had to go for some instruction on driving a 4 wheel drive on Frazer Island. Meanwhile I had a stroll along the beach and a swim in the rather rough sea. There were no nasty currents but it was more a pumelling than a relaxing swim. I sat on the beach and read for a while before taking another stroll to buy myself an ice-cream & then heading home. Shortly after Ian & Gaz arrived back with a rather rusty rattly land rover. Tomorrow we're off to Frazer Island for the weekend. Apparently it's absolutely beautiful and wild. There are no tarmac road just sandy tracks or the beach to drive along. It should be fun. We've a small apartment in a hotel but shops and restaurants are pricey so we did a big shop this evening to stock up for the weekend. The alarm is set for 6.00 and the bags are packed already. We're not likely to have internet and in fact, aren't taking the laptop so there will be no more posts until Monday. Expect loads of photos then!
