Black River

Its been a while since I was down at Black River Beach.
Sharon and family hadn’t been there before so we decided to go for a drive. (Jeff was sleeping off nightshift)

It was sunny until we got onto the beach then in true Tasmanian style… it rained!
Luckily it blew over and stayed away, the sun poking its head out every now and again

Lottie had a lot of fun collecting shells

Paul picked up rubbish (Happily there is not a lot, but now there is even less!)

Tiny crabs were everywhere

Digging down!

Lots of sand patterns

Black River cutting into the sands edge
We kept hearing little crashes. Once we started watching, we could see chunks of the sand dropping into the river

Don’t stand too close! Too cold for an unexpected dip that day

Quite satisfying to watch really…

Lookout Lottie!!

It was nice wandering down the river

Time for Lottie and Lisa to play in the sea foam

And…

Splash!

Enjoying the winters day

Wait… there’s one more!

Time to sit down for a snack…

A nice spot in the mini – dunes with great views

The sun was putting in a bit of an effort

We walked back up along the river

Hello Pelican!

Reflections

People come down here to get oysters… we could see the discarded shells.
Paul went across the river… of course Miss Lottie followed

Not long after we hear the sound of excited screaming at the level usually reserved for someone winning 10 million in lotto
Lottie found an oyster…

They took home a bit of a feed (I declined – not really a fan but its exciting to forage for food!)

Great day out!
Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Cheers
