Australia Day at the beach!!!




Gavin and Hazel

Australia Day is a national holiday similar to the USA 4th of July.


Rescue boats close by


The Cottesloe Beach House
Lifesaving team
We sat in the shade here because it was about 90 degrees and because sunburn happens quickly here!






A very windy day!




Nice of them to warn us that there is water!!??
Joyce was out there for the world record attempt.

    Great pictures, Gail -- but what is the 'world record attempt'? Was it a race or something? What does 'Havaianas' sell?

    Cool! I've always wondered what it's like to surf board. Every time I go to an ocean though, I get scared. I get motion sickness at some point. Not fun! Trust me, it happened to me once on the bus. Hope your having a great time and I'm practicing really hard in band! :)

    Roger - The world record attempt was for the longest chain of rafts with people. Havaianas sells thongs! (Flip-Flops!) Haviainas means 'Hawaii" in Brazil where the company started.
