Along the country back roads and down to the coast we went today for my brother and his family are holidaying at the beach.
Mid winter, every second year, they make this interstate pilgrimage for he loves fishing and the memories he holds dear of this place. It is also the time of his birthday. We always visit for the day and have a wonderful time. Two years ago the weather was glorious, not so much today.

We all had a wonderful day together. The weather forecast for this week suggests they will be having some splendid warm sunny days before their holiday is over, perfect for beach play, fishing and celebrating a birthday!

Such lovely views and landscapes! The ocean looks so beautiful. You certainly had a good time. Happy Sunday, Karen!
Funny that you call this winter. The weather and the clothing here is the same and we call it summer. Hope it will get better. Have a nice weekend.
Your surf shots are wonderful - i could smell the salt air!
The photos are beautiful Karen. It all sounds wonderful.
Have a blessed Sunday!
Such a wonderful, fun day!! I love your captures of the surf and, of course, the children are always a delight!! Wishing all of you a great week ahead!
What a wonderful place to spend vacation and to bond with family:)
Oh, I love the look of that dirt road ... going to place of adventures and rest. How lovely. It's always nice to spend time together with those you love.
Wszyscy byli szczęśliwy. Brat bo miał wspaniłych gości na urodziny i dzieci, bo mogły się pobawić na plaży zimą. Pozdrawiam.
Everyone was happy. Brother because he had wspaniłych guests for birthdays and children, because they can have fun at the beach in winter. Yours.
What a beautiful life you live!!! Beautiful area...beautiful children!!!

Lovely photos - shame about the weather though. We went up to Kingscliff yesterday to visit my brother and his family and saw quite a lot of whales from their balcony.
Lovely shots!
Looks like the best of days! :-)

It looks like everyone was having fun. Cute bird!
Dear Karen, That's lovely that you had an obviously enjoyable and pleasant time with your brother and your nieces and nephews. Can I please ask a question about that sewing that your little people are doing - (keeping in mind that my sewing prowess is completely minimal !!) The cotton looks quite thick - is that some kind of embroidery cotton? And can you buy kits that have a pattern or lines you can clearly follow? Not for a quilt, I'm just thinking of a plain square that I could make into something. Hope you're going ok, Renee.
I love the beach in winter but this winter has been a bit trying. I'm glad it didn't seem to spoil your day there. Fabulous family photos and scenery.
Glorious photos! Those pics with the beach and the cloudy sky in the distance make me long to visit the ocean again. We saw it last summer and it was breath-taking in its vastness...
Beautiful photos! I actually prefer the beach in the off times - There is something awe inspiring about it. It looks as though your family had a wonderful time.
What a beautiful place! Even though the weather may not have been what you hoped for it still looked like you all had a blast! You are very blessed to live in such a beautiful country.
Love that dirt road, and what great beach shots!!
Beautiful photos of your family fun time at the beach.
Good beach and family photos Karen - Dave
Ah such lovely photos and it makes me want to be at the beach right now :)
