Good Day from Australia!!! Guess what? It's another beautiful day here and the GSE Team is absolutely adoring our home away from home! Every day is magical and full of surprises. We are learning so much about the culture and taking it all in.
Ok, well, time for an update!
We went to an Aussie bbq yesterday and sampled the local tucker; prawns, cheese, delicious friut, Aussie burgers with the works (including beet root!), sausages, delicious desserts and of course a huge selection of Aussie wine and beers. As the night pressed on, we were the ones to be entertained as The Red Hot Chilli Mammas took the stage and delighted the audience in 4 part harmony! Their upbeat songs and charasmatic choreography created a fantastic show for the 30+ crowd. The GSE team also performed and was able to expand our set with some off the cuff material. The crowd truly enjoyed us as we enjoyed playing music for them. The Aussies are such a fun-loving group of people, it's hard not to be happy here!
We spent the morning paddling around in the surf, riding on a "rubber ducky" and surfing the big swells of Avoca beach! This legendary surf spot is the home of several world champion surfers and the views are just incredible! I was told that when big storms come up from southern Australia, swells can reach 20-25 feet!!! They have jet skiis that pull surfers out to ride these monsters to shore. I am honored to have had the chance to paddle out in these waters.
For lunch, our host families surprised us with a picnic, which we ate on the rocks at the base of the 3 points. These huge rock formations are what Captain Cook saw when he first discovered Avoca. We are staying with the best people in Australia and we are certainly getting spoiled out here!
I woke up early today in order to go paddling... unfortunately, I forgot to set my clock back and woke up an hour earlier than I had too!!!! No worries! It gave me the opportunity to write to you!
It's now time for me to hit the surf so have a great day in Jersey, or where ever you are and Ooroo until next time!
