G'day!
Last weekend's call was just too busy and something had to give. It was a tough decision between giving you all an update or giving Bron, Matt and Jen some of my time but in my best longterm interests...........
This week's picture - the place is Seal Rocks and the people are Matt, Elena, Bianca and Alexa Khoury and Jen. Sean called on Thursday to say that he and Carolina had rented a house at Seal Rocks ( 85 km / 1 hour 15 minutes south of Taree ) and hoped we would be able to join them at some stage over the weekend. Yesterday was full of hockey and a fundraiser for the Manning Valley Art Gallery but we had nothing planned for today so off we went.
As I had been told, Seal Rocks is really special - quiet and invitingly beautiful. After a barbecued lunch including boerewors we headed off to the beach just below Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse. The sea was calm and transparent and we had kilometres of beach to ourselves. Sugarloaf Point was named by Matthew Flinders when he circumnavigated Australia between 1801 and 1803. I presume it looks like a sugarloaf but I must confess to not having seen one before. I'm not sure what he called all the other points which looked like sugarloaves between his starting point at the southern part of Western Australia and Sugarloaf Point either - perhaps he'd run out of names of people. Matthew Flinders certainly is an icon of Australian history and his cat, Trim who accompanied him shares his / her fair share of fame too.
I have obviously enjoyed this year's Tri-Nations which the Springboks deserved to win. I have heard of ,but have not actually heard any of Peter de Villiers post match interviews but I do hope that the win means as much to all South Africans as he claims.
Until next week.....
