Today, we�ll visit another of Down Under�s scenic treasures, and one that I was very familiar with as a child � the beach. In my youth, I lived in one of South Australia�s most popular seaside towns, literally three minutes� walk from the beach and what a childhood paradise it was!
Every summer holidays, we would descend upon the beach � a wide expanse of beautiful white sand, clear clean water to frolic in, a leisurely walk to the breakwater with the dogs, then home for lunch and relax in the cool rooms of the old two-storey house until it was time to return to the beach.
Carrying our picnic tea with us, we�d sit on the rugs as the sea breeze brought a change in the temperature and as evening fell, we would sit with fingers crossed wishing and hoping that the unpredictable night show would visit that evening. Every once in a while, a pod of local dolphins would appear around the far end of the jetty and slowly swim along the length of the foreshore � purely for their pleasure, but so much more for ours! What a treat!!
