After a good night's sleep, we got up & had an hour's walk on the beach. It was gorgeous - warm, but with a breeze & not too 'busy'. One or two people were fishing & a few were walking. It was a beautiful location - peaceful, unspoiled & well-endowed with Nature's bounty. We found pieces of coral that had been brought in by the tide & the variety of shells was amazing. My favourites were those of the sea urchins but, unfortunately, they were very fragile & not as numerous as some. However, a lady who is parked next to us gave me one of her urchin shells & soon after that, I found another myself. The shells are providing great interest amongst adults & children alike & several of us are making collections.
After breakfast, Bob & Charlie put the Pajeros into 4WD & we went for a spin along the beach. The further we drove from the caravan park, the more secluded it became & the greater the amounts of 'undiscovered' shells. It was wonderful to enjoy the serenity of such a secluded place.
In the afternoon, a show was put on in the park to raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Various people volunteered to entertain the rest of us & we were surprised at how talented some of them were. Most of them sang, but one or two also played pieces of music. The compere had an excellent repertoire of jokes & he had also written a poem for us. Finally, there was a brief auction, a collection & a raffle. It was a pleasant little diversion & we hope that a good sum of money was made for the RFDS.
