The Beach

Just a short walk down our street, is access to a beautiful, wide, black sand beach.  Even in the middle of winter, we are truly enjoying the experience of living on the sea!  We've been collecting shells, rocks and other treasures every day.  Our shoes and socks have been filled with black sand.  We have purchased boots for the kids to wear.  We know that hats and mittens are almost always a good idea to bring, just in case!  We are learning every day in this strange, far away land, half-way around the world.



Path from the street to the stairs


Ben heads on down


Racing through the dunes


Almost there...


Made it!


View to the south


And the north

Love these kids!


Fun on the driftwood



The Tasman Sea is vast!


The waves are mesmerising


Ellie's cutie new boots


Collecting shells


Julia's best yet!


Beautiful Mimi


We're having an adventure, that's for sure!

  1. LOVE. LOVE.
    The beach is one of the best places to learn about our planet. Its ancient rhythm and beauty speak to the body, mind and spirit. What a gift, to live on the sea.
    I am just so very happy for you all.
    We miss you...
