Day 58 Tuesday 9th August

We all had a quiet morning as the boys were recovering from their big day of fishing. It was a little cooler and still quite windy today so most of us didn't venture down to the beach but Heather and Paul braved the water and went for a swim. They said the water temperature was warm and enjoyed it. Heather also went for a swim in the caravan park's pool. This pool is fed by the warm artesian water and can get quite hot. Ray and Hannah took Rob and I in their 4 wheel drive for a little drive down south through the sandhills so Ray could gain some experience with his vehicle. He did a great job tackling the steep sandhills etc . Lyn and Steve headed north and did some fishing with Steve catching a very large, ugly fish which was poisonous and so threw it back. He did take a photo of it though. For dinner, Hannah and Heather had prepared some of the fish ribs and wings from the fish the boys caught yesterday. We had the ribs first and Hannah had coated and cooked them beautifully. Heather had made a delicious fish curry using the fish wings. This was followed by Hannah's apple crumble and custard. We all enjoyed this meal in our annex. The managers of the caravan park also joined us as they were friends of Hannah's and Rays. Following dinner we had fun trying to complete the census forms.......sensibly.
