For family day today we decided to take a mystery trip and just head south! Thirty minutes into our trip we exited the motorway and found ourselves in Pottsville, a small coastal town that I suspect would be typically very sleepy were it not the middle of the Christmas holidays. With the weather a sticky very high thirty something degrees, our wander through the beach side markets was uncomfortable to say the least although ice cream sundaes sweetened the deal for the kids (except for Charli who choose a hot dog, go figure!?!?!?). After lunch in the local park, where I struggled to keep the kids away from the shelter that was obviously home to some of the local indigenous town folk, we decided the only way to cool off was to take a dip in Mooball Creek. Despite it's name, the kids loved this estuary where they swam, collected rocks and dug holes to their hearts content, with Charli even taking time out to declare her love of "this beach" in the sand.
*Today I am grateful that somehow I ended up living my life in beautiful Burleigh Heads*
