We went for a
walk around Pebbly Beach after getting packed up, and finally I understood why
it got its name. The beach close to the camping area is a sandy beach, and I
couldn’t see where the pebbles were supposed to be. When we went hiking we got
to the ACTUAL Pebbly Beach, and I got it right away; the beach were full of
round stones – pebbles – and they made the most beautiful and magical sound as
the ocean drew the waves back from the shore. All the pebbles, big and small,
dancing together in the waves! It was just marvelous!
We also went
to other sites around the area. Such a beautiful place to be. The ocean is so
powerful and yet it doesn’t struggle or work hard (even though the waves are
many meters high). It made me feel humble and great gratitude towards Mother
Earth and The Creation.
All around
Pebbly Beach there were lots of parrots and kangaroos. We could walk right up
to the roos and they didn’t bother at all. That was so amazing, but the best
was yet to come… We went on to Durras after our walk and checked in to a
camping ground called Murramarang Beachfront Nature Resort. When we found our
site all the sites around it had a lot of poop on them (luckily ours were
perfectly fine), and we started to get the picture; the kangaroos are here as
well! We knew that Durras were suppose to be full of kangaroos – that’s why we
wanted to go here on our way south – but we read that they would go to the
woods in the Christmas season, so we were not sure that there would be so many
left. But there are plenty left!! They jump around the tents and caravans,
eating and enjoying themselves. They don’t mind the people at all. Yesterday
when we sat outside in our tent, there were a couple of roos just behind the
tent. When I went to pick up something in the trunk I had to walk as close as
under a meter away from them and they didn’t even look up! Later, when we had
gone into the car (it was a bit cold outside) one of them got into our tent! I
also saw some kids petting one of the smaller ones – still not bothering!
At night there
are other animals here as well. There are rabbits, and I saw a possum when I
went to the camp kitchen to fill up my bottle with water.
We like it
here so much that we decided to stay another night, so tomorrow we’ll head
further south again (if we don’t decide to stay even longer). It’s hard not to
like a place where you live right at the beach (even though the water is icy
cold) and the kangaroos are right outside your door when you wake up in the
morning.
Life is good,
and I enjoy being able to live like we do. I am so happy that I went out of my
comfort zone and took the chance of living my dream. Life and this wonderful
planet we live on have so much to offer, and I’m not willing to sit by while
this life passes me by. I want to LIVE my life fully, with joy and eagerness
for what the next moment will bring! Life can only be as good as you allow it
to be. I will only allow the best J
Live life and
love it.
Joy is the
key!
