Off to Riversdale

A pleasant day slightly overcast, and off for a picnic lunch to Riversdale, Lynley had a paddle of her kayak in the estuary followed by a swim, then lunch. After lunch we walked about a km up the beach, past a rocky outcrop where people were fishing and diving.
I noticed the flags were very close together on the beach, clearly there are a few nasty rips around. Riversdale is quite a long beach, probably 3 km long at least. I noticed a lot of quad bikes on the beach, as well as other vehicles. My foot had had enough by the time we got back to the car, but it was pleasant to be able to walk barefoot on the sand again. Very enjoyable.  I paid for it though with sunburn as always even though I was doused in sunblock. On the way back we noticed emergency vehicles, both police and ambulance racing towards the beach. It turned out a man had drowned despite the best efforts of the life guards at the beach. He had been diving at the northern end of the beach.
Hmm mm unable tp post photos!
