Swell 2012 – Staunch Koalas and Beached Whales

2 days ago I was down at my beautiful creek while the annual Swell sculpture festival was being set up. I had a quick wander and took some pics of the art works that were set up. I really like the festival, it’s in a beautiful place and the sculptures are always really interesting. Here are some pics of a few of my favourite ones. I will probably post more in a few days because some of then you need to view at night, when they light up or become interactive.

'Wow' viewed from the end of the rocks

Octopus mail, similar to snail mail but reaches further

That’s it for now, I will try to put more up after I look at night.

I’m off to the farmers market for some nanas!!

Finally!!

Almost one year to the day later, and I finally got on the paddleboard!! You may remember my previous post whinging about the friend who got a paddleboard.. Well this morning after I dropped M off at school, I drive by the beach for a quick squiz. Not a wave in sight, completely flat! On a whim, I took a photo and sent it to my friend, saying it was a perfect day for sup if she wasn’t busy. She wrote me back almost immediately and said great idea! I was stoked, then got my gear together and headed down.
By the time we got down there, the wind had picked up, unfortunately, but I did not let that deter me.
I only had a quick go, but I did do it properly, and most importantly, didn’t fall off!! Yayy!!
There were heaps of jellyfish in the water, boats going past, and a wind that got stronger by the minute. But it was still awesome.
So now I want a paddleboard hahaha!!

this is a screen shot she took of me

Kid thinks he can paddleboard!
