Living the beach life

So I moved to the beach, I mean if I've come all this way why not live it up and stay on the beach. I was going to buy a tent and just set up right in the sand but I found out that they frown upon that so I got an apartment instead.



The view is great and I get up each morning to the sunrising over the surf.

I also got given a body board by my Aussie friend Brett...



No sharks or drownings yet, although I have swallowed a few gallons of sea water.



It fun as hell and the waves here get pretty big, so any of you surfers (C-Money) will have agood time when you come down.

BBQ Aussie style

So this past Sunday we had a bbq at a friends place, the Aussie bbq's aren't the same as what you'd find back home but damn Beers and Meat cooked and eatten out side... GREAT EVERYWHERE!!! So here's a few pictures.



WOW! that's a lot of food. (and a couple beers);)



Throw another Shrimp on the barbie? By the way they don't really do or say that here and they call them Prawns.



And clean up. So that's an Aussie bbq, they are in all the parks and by the beach its pretty cool, like a large electric grittle but run on propane.

And yes I know the prawns still have the heads on them, you can get them cleaned and NO HEAD... LOL
