A new address, 31 Cooks Crescent, right on the cliff overlooking Nun's (or Stinky's -depending who you are / what era you came to Rosedale) Beach. We spent most of our time on Nun's as the prevailing winds and conditions favoured it this year.

On the deck looking over Nun's:

January 1998

We moved on from 15 Tranquil Bay Place - either we outgrew it, or the owners wanted to use it. Anyway, we found a place further up the hill (further from the beach!) - a very strange place, with bats in the garage, a goanna out the back, and a snakey track to the beach! And Frank gave Ben some face paint for Christmas!

This was the third year we stayed at 15 Tranquil Bay Place.

"Surfing" on the deck:

Jam session on the deck. This was the year Ben was a HUGE Wiggles fan:

January 1996 - a lot of digging!

Ben is now turning two, and not keen on going in the water. But he's a master of digging.
