Try wading through that in 20 kilos of dive gear!! (My wife got stuck in it when she was little. Her welly boots are still there to this day!)
After a dive we had a picnic on the beach with some friends and a few beers.
Thats what I love about austalia.
How about you lot?

Yeah, a dive off shelly is good. It's so accessible and rewarding for so little effort. We are down there most weekends for a snorkel, it's a 20 minute walk. I'm also happy to tell people back home that I get home from work in daylight, and can be hitting the surf within 10 minutes. Bear in mind that I am a lazy sod who never does any exercise, and for me to show this much enthusiasm it must be good.

Usually I would say I love how blue the sky is here, unfortunately haven't seen much of it recently! Blokey says he arranged for the bad weather to cheer me up, make it feel more like an English Christmas..... silly boy forgot to order snow though

If you fancy meeting up for a dive or a drink let us know. We are also there or thereabouts most weekends. We saw a weedy sea dragon the other day, very cool to see! on monday we went there also and a couple of people said there were whales near the beach, breaching! That would of been a bit of a shock if one of those landed next to you on a dive
