New Year's Eve

Him Outdoors had to go to Bateman's Bay for a job on New Year's Eve. He thought it would be a couple of hours' work so I tagged along. It turned out to be a job that took all day, but I wandered about and amused myself as best I could.

This picture is specifically for Hoggy who mentioned that he had found very few nativity scenes in Australia. This one was outside the supermarket in the shopping mall, but a pretty cute diorama.

Alright then, if I must...

Bateman's Bay

Bateman's Bay is two hours from Canberra and many Canberrans go here at weekends to see the sea. We did too.
 

We had lunch at Innes Boatshed sitting out on the wooden deck over the water. I had oysters while Him Outdoors had fish and chips - you choose what you want from the cabinet and they cook it for you in light, crispy, golden batter. Yum! And no, we didn't feed the seagulls.

The Clyde River meets the sea here and according to the brochures it is "a marine playground full of Australia's favourite past times including sailing, big game fishing and river cruising"- not drinking and fighting then?
