It was raining this morning so we headed to the local 'Ocean World' to be introduced to all the local marine life. I think Bruce and Josh enjoyed the tour of local catchable fish... still hoping to catch one of their own. The feeding of the sharks was a bit of fun and Emily definitely got the best photos there.
After lunch we headed out to Shell beach which is an amazing and unique piece of this country of ours. It is a 60km stretch of coast where a species of cockle thrive in the high salinity and have no predators. The beach is made of billions of tiny cockle shells 8-10 m deep!!
It was a lovely afternoon of building shell castles, getting wet in our clothes (we thought it would be too cold to swim) and lying about in the sun.
There is a definite focus on fishing in the area and today was the day to give the squid by the pier a go... The photo below is not a great one but does reflect the deflated hearts and hopes of the boys in our family.
Bruce has returned to the pier tonight to try again...
