On the track between Tranquil Bay and Nun's Beach lookout

The late afternoon sun catches Jimmy's Island. 

Around the 'pirate cave'

 We have always called this deeply incised channel 'The Pirate Cave. George always proceeds tentatively around the interior to the other side, and looks back to make sure I am close by! One day the sea will break through to the other side, forming an arch, or the roof will collapse, perhaps blocking off North Rosedale beach from the main beach. I just hope I am not underneath when it happens! 

And then it rained!

As so often happens, after the fires come the rains. Because the side of our house was damaged when next door burned down (everything plastic melted), the heavy rain saw ineffective downpipes, and the water breached our fireplace flue and made its way inside...

Bushfire aftermath: asbestos

 The house next to ours burned down. It had a lot of asbestos in it. We were unable to effect repairs to our house until the house, including the asbestos was cleared. This was because our tradies couldn't get safe access, and much of the asbestos had ended up on our side. The pink colour is caused by a dyed glue that is sprayed to bind particles together and hopefully prevent the small asbestos fibres floating around.
