Re: We were away last weekend

OH MY GOD!! I GREW UP THERE!!! We used to live right across the road from the beach on hindmarsh road! In fact I just went to show my fiance' around just last month! hehe gee small world, population 9000 or something there right? It was so sad to drive by all the red and black markers, marking the deaths and accidents along the roadside. I lived there from birth to 10 years of age and go back to my hometown frequently to visit :-) Back then the penguins were wild instead of in a centre and they only had a Woolworths at the shopping centre. KFC was the only fastfood joint at the time in the town and it was built just before we left to move to Darwin :-p

Hope you don't mind if I post some pictures from my visit recently to share with you.

Thankyou for your picture but I cant see the ones underneath Victor Harbour.

Re: We were away last weekend

Yes 45 luckly the place was rifrigdeated air conditioning and heating too not that we needed the heat we went to the beach one day and made sure the girls stayed in the water so the heat didnt get to them we only stayed for half hour. This time we didnt go swimming but went on water slides my six year old did really well she starting to gain alot of confidence.

The water looks so beatiful a couple of years ago we saw whales not far from granit island. Not working at the moment but keep being reminded by husband to go back I need just a little bit longer to myself and girls.

Re: We were away last weekend

Just had a read of your hoilday Devon sounds familar might have gone their many years ago I may even have family their we have alot over their.

It sad but ture I loved the hoilday but when we were first going I was also going to miss the computer but the weekend was amazing your brain is relaxed no house to stress about just a new house to live in for three days with veiw of a lake to wake up to.

When you go to VictorHarbour you walk across the bridge you can see and then walk around the Island watching the waves crash against the rocks makes you realise how powerful the ocean is.
