Rock Pools and Bargara

Yesterday was kind of a laid-back sort of day.  In the morning, Matt and I went over to the ocean near Burnett Heads at low tide.  There were numerous tidal pools remaining where the water was trapped after the tide went out, but alas, very few fish, crabs, or other sea creatures.  The rock is there from volcanic activity many centuries ago, and it almost looks prehistoric, like scales from some giant reptile.  Footing there is treacherous too, and I'm happy to report that there were no sprains or breaks resulting from our excursion.

Later on we all went to Bargara, a little resort town on the beach.  We had lunch there at a fish and chips shop where Jo's Mom works as a cook.  The meals were great and the portions were extremely generous (it helps to know the cook!).  I had deep fried cod and a huge helping of fries.  Needless to say, none of us went away hungry.  We took a bunch of family photos while we were there, including the 4 generations shot of the Dailey/Maes clan you see below.

The plan for today is to go to another beach for a picnic lunch.  There is a nature reserve adjoining the beach area and Matt thinks that the paths there are going to accommodate Rhonda's wheelchair, so she should be able to enjoy the nature preserve too.  G'day mates!
