THURSDAY – DECEMEBR 5, 2013, Diamond Beach NSW
BOTTOM LINE:
Laundry, cleaning and
packing up for tomorrow’s departure
Cinema in Tuncurry to
see “Adoration,” filmed in this area
Last dusk walk to see
wallaby’s and hopefully a Koala
BACK STORY:
Got up to do some
domestic chores in preparation for tomorrow’s departure. The resort has laundry lines for hanging
clothes for drying, which is always my first preference. Unfortunately the “synoptic” storm that blew
into Melbourne earlier arrived just as I hung out the clothes! Synoptic refers to a storm blowing in off the
Indian Ocean and coming into the southern shore of the country. Either way, the
clothes were tossed into the dryer.
With it being a stormy
day, we decided to clean up, pack and take in the show, “Adoration” that I had
mentioned was filmed in the Seal Rock area just south of here.

Our critique of the
movie as we left the theater was, “Stupid Aussie show!”
The ocean scenery was
beautiful. The plot and story line had
no redeeming value to us. Our suggestion
is to read the reviews and if you really want to see it, wait until it comes
out on DVD…don’t waste your money.
The best part of the
movie was meeting a couple of gals outside.
They had been sitting in front of us during the show and I had heard an
accent other than that of a local. One
was from Germany, the other Austria.
Each had met Australian men in their respective jobs and ended up in Foster. The more vocal gal was an Orthopedic Surgeon
who had three young boys. Both women seemed genuinely excited to meet us, but
sorry we were heading out in the morning.
“Although this is a beautiful area,” they said, “it is hard to fit in
and find like minded people.” I guess it is a tight knit community making it
difficult to join in as a newcomer.
