We have been able to make the most of it during the one nice day during the weekend. Last weekend we hiked in the Morialta National Park. Unfortunately part of the trail was closed for rebuilding, but we were able to get some great views of the waterfalls and through the canyon. As always, Sally and Keith were joined and we started having a competition for the most koalas spotted. Mark had a keen eye and was able to spot two of them in the trees - Sally had one and Keith also had one...everyone but me. All I was able to spot was a Kookaburra which is one of the state's most populous birds.
Today we took advantage of the fine weather (aka no rain) and headed south. Down to Sellick Beach. It was absolutely wonderful. One of the beaches where you are able to drive along the sand to find the best spot. So of course we took the Getz out to see how it performs in the great outdoors. I've never driven on a beach, but it is similar to driving through soft mud. We drove down as far as possible and then walked along the rest of the beach. Although it wasn't warm enough to go for a swim it was nice to be by the water and start planning for summer. I think so far we have a BBQ planed for every weekend. Which isn't that difficult considering there are BBQs all along the beach for public use. With such a beautiful scenery we couldn't help but make some car commercials - below is the best car commercial snap shot of the girls...
After awhile we noticed that the tide started to creep up on us. We didn't think much of it at first until it was only about 3 or 4 feet away. Then we decided it was about time to get the car back to solid ground before it (and us) floated out into the ocean. Towards the end Mark had to accelerate to beat the tide - it was a close one but the Getz hasn't let us down yet!
