Rainbow Beach Resort

We had quite a lie in this morning as the children didn’t wake up until gone 7.00am, we changed and decided to go for a walk. Within the resort in a tree we saw three Gonolek birds, a bright red breasted bird with black wings and a yellow patch on the top of its head as well as loads of chattering Weaver birds. We took the road to the lagoon and walked along a track which was slightly overgrown in areas. After seeing quite a few birds we made our way towards the beach, Abigail and Bradley collecting shells on the way. As we passed the fishing boats we spotted a cloth with some fish heads poking out from underneath it on closer inspection the fish were small three foot long sharks.

On arriving back at the resort we ate breakfast then spent the rest of the day on the beach. On the afternoon Jenny, Mick, Teo and Mia arrived with some of the children from their village in tow so I introduced them to Paul and we stood chatting in the sea cooling off. Bradley played with Teo for a couple of hours before we packed up for home. On the way back we called at Jackie's as we are borrowing her Christmas tree as she will be spending Christmas at home this year. As we loaded the tree in the car Jackie said to Abigail you are in charge of the decorating of it not Mummy, Abigail was pleased with this remark. We dropped Sam and Jackie of at Atlantic road, Jackie also plays touch rugby with Paul on a Sunday.
