| Note the volume of debris high on the beach following king tide |
We have been so lucky, so far/touch wood etc, not to have copped the flooding that has occurred in Queensland, Victoria and northern NSW.

| Huon in driftwood cubby - built by persons unknown |
Nevertherless, the power of water is amazing. We visited one of our favourite beaches today - Hungry Head - and strewn high up the beach was masses of debris. A result of flood waters and a king tide.

| Sitting on an example of the large pieces thrown up by the big seas |
There were huge pieces of timber and logs - anybody wanting a bonfire for a beach party would have no shortage of fuel. We all had fun exploring the beach - me looking for interestingly shaped driftwood, Huon for shells and stones making sure he was "accidentally" knocked over by the surf (I knew I should have put in a change of clothes) and Ian watching out for photo opportunities.

Today is Ian's birthday and it has been a lovely unplanned, relaxed day. Huon helped make the birthday cake, which means all he really did was lick clean the beaters and bowl and remind me how many minutes were left on the timer!!! A simple salad and fish meal became bean salad, coleslaw and garden salad plus roast taties washed down with raspberry cordial and soda water followed a little later by coffee and birthday cake.

| Huon with Grandad |
The boys have now gone out to visit Grandma and Grandad for more birthday wishes and a swim.
Dinner will, no doubt, consist of leftovers (and possible another piece of chocolate cake!!!).
