It was only 2 days, but our weekend away was fantastic! All your good wishes for the sun to shine worked, as it was 36C. (100F.) both days - so thank you all so much. It was the anniversary of our first date (18 years) & MOTH insisted we celebrate it at Marion Bay, a lovely little beach village about 200kms. from Adelaide.
He'd organized some fabulous accomodation & we enjoyed dinner both nights at the local Tavern. The chef Adam Sommariva is an absolute legend, he surfs during the day & cooks up a storm at night. His food is brilliant, totally worth falling off the diet wagon from a great height for.
We drove down the road a couple of kilometres into the Innes National Park to enjoy the spectacular beaches. This part of the coastline over on Yorke Penninsula is breathtaking & a really popular destination for surfies from around the country.
And as we started our trek down the stairs to the beach MOTH noticed this kangaroo & her adolescent joey giving us the once over in the sand dunes.
Isn't it spectacular, even my pitiful phone images look good! We had this beach all to ourselves the entire afternoon, & other than a very gusty wind & a few hundred thousand flies it was magic.
MOTH was champing at the bit to get out to sea to hang a line over. He did have a successful afternoon & came back happy & very tired. So back to reality today & a very busy week ahead.
I Love that part of our Country..it is Beautiful & Glad you were Spoilt for the Weekend...

ReplyDeleteI never tire of looking at pictures of kangaroos as they are such elegant creatures.
Thank you for posting such glorious pictures, you've made my Monday morning.

Oh WOW Mill's....that looks so beautiful and, not a soul to be seen. .... but, just what were you and MOTH doing in the sand dunes that held the kangeroo's attention ?!!! Haha
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear that you both had a wonderful weekend....you both deserve it....you work so hard.....it's just a shame that you have to come back to the real world..... Oh, and, points to MOTH for arranging it. Go to the top of the class and get a gold star MOTH XXXX

ReplyDeleteYou could have stopped by for a cuppa on your way down to the "Bottom End" - except I was in Adelaide while you were over here.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely time.
What stunning scenery Millie. He's such a wee romantic that MOTH. I think a weekend away at this time of the year before the slippery slide into silly season would be just perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh what a lovely weekend! Whilst you were on the YP I was in the hills with breakfast at the Aldgate Providore Sunday morning! Letitia x
