We were invited down to Somers by friends of the Barretts. Afraid you will need Leigh to explain the family connection (Leigh update: Sheena, who invited us to to visit, is my Gran's oldest friend's daughter and lives about 5 minutes from us in Brighton). But we drove down the peninsula to their family holiday house and had a lovely lunch and all the kids played together in the garden.

We then wandered down to the beach. We were slightly disappointed that the wild Koala that had been there an hour before had now moved on. Been here coming on for 3 years and not yet seen a wild Koala or Kangaroo. The beach was beautiful and very quiet.

Emily decided that she wanted to be part of the action, nothing new, altho I don't think anyone else realised that she could not swim, as a large wave came and almost swept her out towards Tazzy. Leigh quickly rushed down as she was plucked here from the surf.

One of the highlights of the afternoon though was watching a pod of dolphins swim past the shore only about 20 or so feet away. In the past we were told that they use to come right up the the swimmers and swim around you. Lately they have been a little more distant as they had a baby with them.

You can just make out the dolphins in the left part of the picture. Not my greatest photographic effort, but was just taken with the little snapper.
