The house that Emma had rented was one that she and Charlie had stayed in before with friends. Its location was absolutely stunning, sitting on a low cliff above a sweeping golden beach backed by dunes. The view from our bedroom was of a vast expanse of sea with surf perpetually pounding the shoreline, which provided the soundtrack to our little idyll.
As the sea was really too heavy for swimming, and wishing to explore the locality a little, we drove round to Lake Conjola which is actually the mouth of a river that has silted up with sand. This has left a large saltwater lake behind a sand bar that for the most part was extremely shallow. We were able to wallow in the gentle downstream current keeping ourselves cool in the scorching heat. On the way there was great excitement when a bird with a funny head shape was spotted beside the road and we had to stop for photos – it turned out to be a Kookaburra!
Later in the afternoon we took a look at Green Island, a place that we would return to for the fishing a number of times during the week. The need to investigate the best spots for surfing and fishing was an integral part of our first days in Manyana.
