Aussie Summer Lovin'

Wanna know why I give thanks every day that my forebears chose to settle in the the Lucky Country ????  Just take a look.


As we count down to Australia Day, our National Day, on 26 January we have been experiencing a bit of what Australia is so famous for this week, beautiful Summer weather on the beaches.



My rock pool rocked this week


An Aussie rite of passage, a boy being a boy


Crystal clear ocean


The light was amazing


the fragrances too


We launched our latest boat


as the tide came in


We cooled off


and played in the sand



We checked out the talent as they checked on us


The baby boombers on parade



The little surfer girls


and the queen of tides


The dogs loved it


We got in



 We splashed around and thanked heaven for Aussie girls






and that, my friends, was our week in the water, on the Beaches here in Australia.

Not sure if it's luck or good planning but I'm convinced, that which ever way you slice it, I am living in paradise.

I share lots of these photos on face book and twitpics throughout the week, so if you would like a fix of the ocean join me there.

    1. Hi Marydon

      They are a collection of Beaches Avalon Beach, Palm Beach Clareville and Taylors Point. We are spoilt for choice on the planets biggest island that is Australia and 80% of us live on the coast as the red centre is a desert.

  8. Great photos. You are truly blessed living there.
    The tide queen is so sweet! Looks like everyone had a great time. Here in sunny California, we are having great weather during the day. The nights are colder. We do need some rain, though. Enjoy the week! Linda
