"Blue Water Paradise"














Over the past few weeks we have been lucky enough to have some glorious weather - fine and dry with warm springtime sunshine. The blossom is in full bloom, there are camellias, roses, azaleas, jasmine and a number of plants we don't recognise all flowering and filling the air with beautiful scent.
The area is dubbed "Blue Water Paradise" and it's not hard to see why.
We have settled easily in to a routine of exercising the dogs along the numerous beaches, picnics for lunch at one of the many coves and exploring the local bush trails and sights within the local vicinity - it is a very pretty place. The various bays have pristine golden sandy beaches and the sea is both warm and vivid turquoise. The ocean the other side of the bay is less calm but equally blue with mile upon mile of empty sand beaches.



Our first trip out was to Nelson Bay which is the main township here and which is perched at the tip of the southern arm of the bay. Since then we have also visited the quieter settlements of Shoal Bay, Soldiers Point(our home neighbourhood), Boat Harbour and Anna Bay.

We have also been to Stockton Beach which actually has the largest sand dunes in the eastern Australian mainland.

Found your pics!! See what you mean, Charlie would just love bundling on a beach like that with those two. He made a new buddy today up at the Tox, a black lab who kept trying to hump him. Mind you, lots of boys seem to go for Charlie but then he is a rather handsome lad! Beaches look bloomin fab, you are two very lucky ladies. Good times!!!
