Social Spaces
I'm here!!!!!! The beach is wonderful, really not many people on it at all, was even able to let the puppies off for a quick sprint 😄 they LOVED it!!! - the camp site though . . . oh well, I'm glad I came & I'm dealing with all the people around me pretty well. Google lied, but no more then I expected it to; I left at 6 & got here about 1.30pm, I was getting worried as I've read some places you have to get there by 2pm. I've never seen a place like it, there are vans here that look ancient, almost completely cover in dead leaves & tall grasses - I wonder how they get away with it, that it isn't a health & safety issue or at least a fire issue. I wasn't expecting to cross the road to get to the beach, but it is really close & yet my campsite is far enough away not to notice it {plus I don't think there's much traffic travelling on it}. If it wasn't for how close the campsites are & how many people are here {which I can understand with the beach so close & dogs allowed, but I guess because it's 'off peak' season & during the week I was overly hopeful} I might think of returning . . . but there are too many people for me. I'll continue looking for somewhere a little more inland than the beach. I think I'll just stay the 4 days. The temperature is lovely & there's a wonderful breeze, everything is so lush & green . . . & the ocean, well there just isn't any more giant a puddle on the Planet! 🙂
Love to all that need or want it 
We survived our first night 🙂 The Staffy did well, no whinging or whining - we all just slept. It was a bit warm inside the back of my ute, I even lifted the curtains up a little to let a bit more breeze in, I might set-up my miniture evaporating cooler today, ready for another slightly humid evening.
We went for another walk on the beach first thing this morning 🙂 Another wonderful experience for all. I let the puppies off for a little bit, though the Staffy took off up the beach until he was just a little black dot in the distance - not what I think would be considered 'under control' ;/ But absolutely fun!
There are Water Dragons & Bush Turkey running around all over the camp, it's all part of the experience for the dogs - they've finally gotten exhausted enough just to look at them & whine a little now 🙂 There are also a lot of other dogs dotted in different sites, including one right next to us {well there is an empty site inbetween}, I think it's a really good lesson for them. I want to have a little whinge myself though; the rules here are that dogs are to be kept on lead at all times, the next site doesn't seem to think the rules apply to them? Their dogs are extremely well behaved, but when they let them off & throw the ball for them to play with - my dogs get a little 'upset' & my little fella has an embarrassingly loud bark {another rule is no excessive barking!}, so it annoys me quite a bit when they do that.
It's nice & quiet here, there were no loud parties & even the happy chattered died down by 10pm. So far, so good, I think I'm getting better at this. My guys would probably the noisiest & worst behaved in the campsite - but they're not too bad, it's really only when we go out to get to the beach the little fella might not be able to help himself . . . like when we were entering the beach this morning, a lady was exiting with her dog, she stopped & smiled . . . & that's all it took for the little fella to start shouting 🙂 I had to focus on trying to settle him down & totally ignored the Staffy. It always amuses me that between the Pitbull & the little fluffy fellow, it's the little one that seems to create more problems.
