Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

Finally a full day of sun! We spent the morning being lazy at the campground. Jacob sat in the sun and finished up a book as I walked the beach. Not a bad way to start the day.

We headed to the beach just outside of the city hoping to get some more of the fabulous white sands that we saw in New South Wales. We didn’t find the white sands but figured the red would do just fine. We spent a few hours roasting in the sun watching all the trucks race up and down the sand. We had to leave around noon – it got too hot. We haven’t gone swimming yet. In NSW the water was too cold and now we are too scared of the jellyfish and stingrays.

We went for a long walk on a different beach in the afternoon and then hit the road again. We traveled much farther than planned as we couldn’t find a rest stop. We are in MacKay now hoping to figure out our Great Barrier Reef adventure for the next few days. The sunshine is so much more fun.
