Up the Coast
First off... I know I've been pretty slack on blog posting as of late, but I'm trying to get myself established in Australia and it's a whole different ballgame. I promise I'll make it up to all you blog stalkers out there in cyberspace! We headed up the coast on a mini road trip last weekend for a family bday party, Nat's 21st. They live in Old Bar which is this cool country town with a far smaller population than crazy Sydney, and it's right next to the beach as well. The beaches up the coast are desolate and beautiful. Treachery Beach near Seal rocks is a real nice spot we spent a day at, and they've even got a lighthouse perched up on the cliff side. I nearly trod on a brown snake (which apparently could've killed me?), got to swim with a pod of dolphins passing by in the open ocean, finally got my camera back in the water, and faced off with a giant pelican. Life sure doesn't get dull down here...
