Dunc, Laura and I planned to do the Manly to Shelley Beach return swim (1.6km) on Australia Day, as we normally did once a week with the informal group - the 'Bold and the Beautiful'. Normally between 40-70 of us would turn up but on Australia Day 600 people appeared! We all sang "Advance Australia Fair" on the beach wearing our flourescent pink hats (always a good look) before setting off. There was an eery mist that morning when we awoke in Oxford Falls and it ran the length of Manly Beach too. Even as we left the life savers were announcing that no one could be seen in the surf unless they were down the far southern end.
Back at the ranch, baking with Granny, painting with Grandpa and our new friends - Chocolate and Lollipop - the two possums that thunder around on our roof!
