Dinner on the beach.

Bruno had a RDO today so I went into town to do the groceries while he hung around home keeping an eye on Rosie who is still settling in. The street had cars everywhere as everyone prepares for the weekend, no corner stores here for last minute/missed items.
 I went to the Post Office got the mail and some ink cartridges for the printer, finished the groceries and went to the General Store to get the Flinders Island News. No, its not a newspaper but a photocopied, booklet produced fortnightly with all the happenings, fitness classes, a report from the local police and any other news that has happened on the Island within the fortnight. I liken it to a school newsletter.

I made a quiche with fresh eggs, given to us by Gaylene, (the wife of one of Bruno`s colleagues) along with a beautiful vase of freshly cut garden flowers as a welcome to the Island. The yolks were bright yellow and the photo doesn't really show it how it was.

I made the quiche because Bruno and I were going "out" to tea tonight. We were heading to Sawyers Bay to go for a walk and to have tea while watching the sun set. On the trip there, a "kite" flew into the front of the ute and it was stuck on the grill. We could hear it calling out so Bruno stopped on the side of the road to remove it and put it out of its misery, if it was still alive. When the ute slowed down it appeared to fall off and go under the car. When we got out, it was obviously dead but not squashed in any way. Poor little fella.

We carried on our way and soon arrived at Sawyers Bay. We couldn't go too far from home because Bruno is actually on-call for the next 10 days and therefore has to be within a 10min radius of the station.

Considering we were only 10 ins from home, the place was deserted though the beach was scattered with boulders and rocks. Wow, this is going to be fun to explore. We headed off and everywhere we turned there were different and intriguing formations. It was if someone up above was playing "jacks". We spent a good hour walking through and around the formations.

I took so many photos but you can view them in my facebook album under Sawyers Bay.

On arrival back to the car we laid out the picnic rug and proceeded to eat the quiche as we looked out on the waters of Bass Strait.
