When we stay up in Queensland with my Nan and Pop we get to go to the beach lots and play in the sand and swim in the water. We go early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the sun doesn’t burn you so easily. Swimming in the surf is lots of [...]

We have been across the border between the Northern Territory and South Australia and we have crossed all of the NSW borders.
