After another fantastic drive through the Australian countryside we arrived at our next destination – beautiful Mollymook where we celebrated J’s birthday. On the way though we saw this fab truck:
I am totally in love with the trees on this trip, from the huge banyans in Hawaii and Fiji – to these delicate tree ferns:
The beach was fantastic, beautiful fine white sand, and the sea was clear with big surf:
The day of J’s birthday was hot and sunny with the clearest blue sky ever. Birthday presents had a strong Australian theme as you might expect. Here is J with his Ned Kelly T shirt and the brilliant home made card Rose made him (see we do have some creative talent in the family Cathy!).
We ate out in a wonderful restaurant, guess who the chef was? Rick Stein? Although ofcourse he was not there his chef from Padstow runs it and the food was absolutely delicious. The location was even better. Here we are walking along the beach to reach it:
We started with cocktails by the infinity pool:
The walk back along the beach, with the warm breeze and the stars out was even more amazing. Thomas is clutching the signed menu J asked for! Defintely a memorable birthday and the first J has ever spent on the beach in the warm!
