I guess we're not in Kansas anymore Toto......

Tentatively, delicately. A grimace plastered to my face.

(I tried really hard to smile - but I KNEW what was coming)

"Yay Mummy - go Mummy - you can do it" came the cheers from the safety of the sand.

Sucking in my breath, because I knew in a minute it was going to be knocked right out of me.....

I did it.

I stuck my toe in the water.

Just to see. Check if my guess was correct.

Yep. Freezing.

(Who are these South Australians trying to kid?)

Coming from tropical QLD, I KNOW what swimming at the beach is supposed to be like, and it doesn't resemble this breath-taking moment even slightly.

But having said that (or whinged that),  just check out this scenery...................





Now that's breathtaking!!!
