This cold weather has got me dreaming of distant shores. Eight and a half years ago dh and I spent a few days in a beautiful little place called Pebbly beach between Canberra and Melbourne. It is totally unspoilt. Little sandy beach, hundreds of wild kangaroos, beautiful colorful parakeets that feed from your hand and the odd goanna lizard roaming around. We were the only tourists there and stayed in an old rundown caravan without electricity. Bliss...... Must go back have a family holiday there.
