Day 39 - My Canadian Birthday

---

Today Regan and I went to the Stockton Sand Dunes. Which you would think are in Stockton, that’s what we thought. Nope! They are about 30 minutes north of Stockton. So these dunes are the largest in the southern hemisphere and the move about 4 metres north every year. Strange. You think they could put a big fan at the north end to make them stay in one spot.

So at these Stockton Sand Dunes not in Stockton you can go on 4WD tours and camel rides. We thought at first a camel ride would be cool but then we figured after 5 minutes you’d be thinking “I can walk faster than this and what is that smell!?” So maybe take a pass on the camels. We didn’t do any 4WD tour either because we are broke and Ryan was in school. So we figure we would go back again when Ryan can come and we have money!

So we walked around on the dunes for a bit and on the beautiful beach, stuck our feet in the water and then decided it was time for my Birthday pedicure! A gift from Regan.

It is hard work to sit in a massage chair and get a pedicure!

We went out for pizza on Beaumont Street “the cosmopolitan heart of Newcastle” which is 2 streets over from our place. We sat on the street and watched all the St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans and then we went for gelato, mmmmmm. Luckily it is $4 a scoop so I wont be tempted to get some every day, it is so close!

Pretty good Canadian Birthday in Australia.
