Wongi State Forest

It's a beautiful day but too windy to take the boat out. So we decide to go to Wongi State Forest. First we drive to have a look at Lenthal's Dam. Good to see the water is flowing. We have our pick nick here before we travel further to the lakes. We install our chairs while the boys are having a ball swinging on a rope and jumping in the water. They enjoyed this day!

Rock pools, Mt Walsh and Biggenden

We went for a day trip towards Biggenden. Joining us were our friend Nathan and Tom's friend Josh. We left around 9.30 am. The rock pools are a well hidden place where rocks are formed in a way so they have different pools and waterfalls from one pool to another. It was good no one else was around and we had the place to ourselves.
We enjoyed cooling down in the pools, sliding from one to another, jumping of the rocks into the water. After a couple of hours we got hungry so we decided to drive to Mt Walsh to have our lunch there. Afterwards we drove to Biggenden where we stepped into a shop to have a coffee and a piece of cake. We were back home around 6 pm.

Rainbow Beach

It was a bit too windy to take the boat out, so we decided to spend the day at beautiful Rainbow Beach, about 1,5 hours drive from our home. After obtaining a permit to drive on the beach, we took the Freshwater track that leads towards the beach. After a short drive on the beach we settled in front of a dune. The boys climbed the dune and surfed down. It was a warm day so we went for a swim to cool down. We had some lunch and after a couple of hours we left. On our way back we stopped to have a look at Freshwater Lake, the first time we saw it with water in it. We drove all the way to Rainbow where we had dinner before we headed back home.

It was another fun Sunday in paradise.

Romeo's Apprentice

Every 4 weeks the family band Romeo's Apprentice comes to the Boat Club. It is always a fun night with lots of dancing. Today I went with two friends and we danced from 8 pm till the band stopped playing at midnight.
