SUNSHINE BEACH 1979

My Story Continued
During the end of year school holidays in 1979 we hired a holiday house at Sunshine Beach on the Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane. We shared with friends, Daphne, Nigel and son Iain. We spent every day on the beautiful beach.
It was a nice house on top of a cliff overlooking the ocean.

 Daphne and me watching the kids.






 I was teaching them how to surf on the rubber mats.


 Oops Carol gets tipped off.



One day we went to Tewantin and tried fishing. We didn't manage to catch dinner.

 On the way home we stopped  at the BIG cow.

  8. You had that lovely beach practically to yourselves. It would have been lots of fun staying in that house, listening to the waves at night... always a lovely sound.
    Children have great fun in the water don't they.
    Your photos bring back memories of what we did as youngsters on the beach in Frankston, Vic. Dad would meet Mum and us there after work and we'd all have sandwiches as the sun went down - it's the small and happy things in life we remember best xx
