Both Will and Ray have boys about the same age as Jacob. They decided to have a "boys" weekend at Diamond Head.
Diamond Head is a National Parks camping ground about 30mins from our house near Laurieton. It is a lovely little spot, in the middle of a clearing with camp spots where you can have a fire and pitch your tent surrounded by tame Roos. There are clean toilet blocks and a beautifull horeshoe beach where you can drive your 4x4.
The boys had an awesome time. The kids rode around on their bikes and went bodyboarding at the beach. The adults went surfing and took Rays car for a drive on the beach.
The water temperature was about 20 degrees Celcius and the weather was beutifull all weekend.
Ray showed his bush skills by cooking a rabbit stew in the camp oven which was delicious. Unfortunatley the Roos decided to rifle through the bags while we were at the beach and ate the fresh bread to accompany it!!!
Diamond Head is definatley a spot we will be returning to very soon.
Oh Rach, it was wonderful to see the photos of Diamond Head. I used to live there, around the headland. They used to sand mine there and we lived on site with four other families and went to school in at Laurieton. Bought back wonderful memories. Wonder if Kylie Tennant's home is still there. She wrote a wonderful Australian poem I love a sunburnt country..
