Blueys Day Two... Dolphins at Dawn

So there I was 5:30 am, going through the "I really don't want to get out of bed but when a man's gotta a man's gotta go" thought processes. We had left the curtains open all night so my bleary eyes were instantly cleared by the prospect of a glorious sunrise. Tina was promptly kicked out of bed, kettle was on and it was off to the beach, me still in my pyjamas. As gorgeous as Uluru was the fact that you were sharing the spiritual moment with 2000 others took away a bit of mystique. This sunrise was all ours.....



The fact that we were just north of Seal Rocks (second most easterly point in Australia) meant that we were also one of the first in the country to get it.



The sense of awe and wonder got to me and the opportunity of walking on the beach just in my pyjamas(+thongs) was too good to miss.




I can't tell you what I felt like doing when the Pod of Dolphins, drifted across the sunrise. OK this one won't get in the National Geographic but they are there............. somewhere........... Ithink. Whatever, needless to say when we talk top ten Australian moments this one will get under the Radar.



So there we have it. Sun was up, the shadows were long, the tea was cold, the beach was still empty and the grins were broad.


There is some poetic statement needed here about how our impact in Australia is like footprints in the sand. If I were DH Lawrence I could stretch out 4 pages of tedious Literature about it but I'll leave him to his extended metaphors and I'll blog pretty pictures.



So where were the kids when all this was happening? In bed asleep. We left them a note.



Needless to say they woke up and never saw it, we returned to find them in a Zombie like state on the sofa, completely unaware we had even left our beds.
