Back home now to complete my Blog, as on our last day the SD card wouldn't read to upload my photos so doing it now.
Viv and Peter went for a walk in the morning along the beach to the heads to go up the side of the hill to take photos. Looking North across Burleigh Beach. Surfers in the distance.
Looking South from the Burleigh Heads.

We went along to the Surf Club to meet Marcus for lunch. The above is the outlook south from the balcony. Beautiful.

Lunch with Marcus.
After a very nice lunch walked back to the Apartment, then Pete and I thought last afternoon better get out for a drive. Drove down south to Currumbin beach above. Great day and we are going home tomorrow. :-(
Looking down to wards the end of the beach.
Looking north across the estuary surfers in background.
Zoomed in as quite a distant shot of birds nest on a channel marker beacon. Would be warm in the cooler nights with the light on.
Over the rocks is the northern end of the beach
Above and below saw a couple probably after their wedding wondering along the beach with their photographer.
Between the northern end of beach and the estuary.
Seemed to be a good surfing spot a few around just not in photo. Mouth of the estuary.

On our way back we went for a drive up the hill behind Burleigh township.

It is now the morning we are leaving :-( Wednesday 29th July. Packed ready to go to the airport at 7.30am after a great holiday with Ron and Viv. Although the weather didn't start off the best it certainly turned out well. Unfortunately the virus hit Pete and I but we still made the most of it and had a good time.
Above and below when we got up, beautiful sunrise. Standing on their balcony.
Well back home now had a great trip home flight 30 minuets shorter than usual as we had a very strong tail wind. Excellent crew on Air New Zealand really looked after us. Row 1....Came home to showers and cold wind but the next morning sun was out and clear skies and a lot warmer.
Many thanks to you both Ron and Viv for asking us over. You have a great apartment and so handy to Damian and family just across the road.
Apart from the slight mishap of a little sickness we still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and seeing where you are based over there we can now visualise what you will be doing when we are in touch.
Looking forward to seeing you both when you get home I think it is the 1st October.
HAVE FUN
