HAPPY BIRTHDAY at the Lighthouse!

In mid-July, Rod and I were guests at a gala affair! A dear friend who turned 70, had a week-long party up at the lighthouse. The old lighthouse-keeper's cottages have been converted to holiday accomodation, and they are spectacular!



Picture this: One week at the most easterly point of Australia, culminating in a Full Moon Party with close friends and family. Invited guests coming and going, staying a day, or two; lots of presents, serenades, accolades and wine! Lots of wine, oh yes. A fitting honour for an amazing woman.

We were lucky enough to stay in the guest room for two nights. For those two nights, we were the most easterly people sleeping on the continent. When we got up on the first morning, at dawn, the full moon was setting over the hills just as the sun rose out of the ocean.











That night, the party was perfect! The moon was full, the guests were full. Good music, fine wine and great company!
