Day eight

A quiet morning reading our books. Steve took Jack to Queens Park to play football and Helen took Immie down to the beach for a swim - where Immie was the heroine in a seaside drama, saving an elderly woman’s life, but I will let Immie tell that story!

After a lunch, featuring soda bread from the local bakery, we headed out for a different beach - Maroubra Beach.

Kate and I walked along the back of the beach in very, very hot sunshine. There were plenty of goannas about, but very few birds. 

The red wattlebird was about, and this time the wattles were more obvious. 

We walked along the cliff top, looking along the coast to Bronte and Bondi, before catching several buses home. 

We had a spectacular Thai take-away for supper and then strolled down for a nighttime view of the sea.
