We liked the van park right near the beach and rainforest, so had decided to stay an extra day to just enjoy the area, and maybe do some more walks. Here’s a few things we did that day:-
– slower start to the morning.
– Michael took the kids onto the beach to play soccer and then have races.
– Michael took the kids back to Mason’s creek to have a swim and swing off the rope.
– Andrea did some clothes washing and cleaning and airing the van.
– rest time after lunch listening to an audio book.
– went for a walk northwards along the beach and then on a boardwalk through the freshwater mangrove and rianforest area – we saw a cassowary on this walk and stopped and watched it for a few minutes – then it seemed to want us to leave its territory so it started to walk towards us – we’d heard they can be aggressive, so we calmly but quickly walked away.
– Michael took the kids for one last swim at Mason’s creek – on the ‘favorites’ list of places we have visited.
