We just retured from a 5-day mini-holiday to the sleepy ocean town of Tumby Bay, about 2 hours down (south) on the coast from Whyalla. I’ll write more about our week there soon, but I thought I’d get some pictures up first.

It was a lovely time, temperatures between 70 and 80 and I went for dips in the ocean almost every day, long walks on the beach, and we saw some local wildlife — seagulls, shags, jellyfish, and on the final day, dolphins. The apartment was lovely, only 100′ from the water’s edge, with a full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a spa bath, balcony, laundry, etc.

We had a really great time, all thanks to the incredible generosity and companionship of our two friends, Rebecca and Paul. We can’t thank them enough for the wonderful time!

	The view from our apartment; it was horrible, as you can see.
	I’m fascinated by the ocean, really, especially the waves. They amuse me highly. Yes, I’m farm boy. ~

	I love parrots — they taste just like chicken!
	I am truly outstanding in my field…err…ocean.
	I think I’ll stick to my day job, as my crappy fishing skillz won’t get me anywhere in the world. Here I am, holding a zebra perch that I did NOT catch, but am obviously having a good time showing off, nonetheless.
	Crayola hasn’t come up with a box of crayons with enough colors to capture the beauty in this one.
	Sunset over Tumby Bay — photography just doesn’t capture the serenity of the world.
