australia day weekend.  thursday was australia day so we went for a surf. ended up at st. andrews where the swell was big but still good fun. we then decided to stay around for an arvo surf. unfortunately the swell came up a bit and the tide was wrong. it took me 10 minutes to paddle out, 40 minutes to not catch a wave and then 30 minutes to try to paddle back in against the rip. did see a dolphin surfing through the wave and made us look silly.
we stayed around for friday as well. st. andrews was out of control so we headed to pt. leo. alost caught a big kangaroo with the car along the way.
did get a nice surf at point leo. today was still a warm day and after a thunderstorm went past the cicada's started up. if you never heard cicadas make their noise then it is a bit hard to describe how loud they are, so here's a little bit of sound i recorded with my telephone.. and you can never find these little insects even if you are standing right on them. all in all a pretty good australia day weekend.. and the weekend hasn't even started yet :)
it's a good country..
I think I've said before that I'd never heard the Aussie term "clogwog" used for a Nederlander. (I am Australian BTW).
But my chum Dutch Harry was familiar with it.
I love the Clogwog's photography and his love of surfing, a sport I would love to love, but I've never got the hang of it.
