MOVING THE PASHA BULKA ...

We tried ...



LOL ... a bit of photo fun !!!!

We've had a lovely weekend. Great to see the sun shining so i could finally get the unpacking & loads of washing done from our holiday.

Last night we went to the drive-in and seen 2 movies including SHREK 3 ( mmm ... it was pretty good, but not as good as 1 & 2)! It was very cold but we were well organised with sleeping bags in the back of the 4wd for Blake and his 2 friends; and us adults were well decked out with beanies, jackets, blankets etc. We even took along the camp stove & billy for hot chocolate to keep us warm ... yum!

Today, with other friends we headed over to Newcastle to view the infamous 'Pasha Bulka' which run-aground on Nobby's Beach in those terrible storms 2 weeks ago. Approximately 1000 other people had the same idea ... wow, there were people everwhere!






It really was incredible to see ... very surreal ... this massive ship "smack bang" in the middle of a picturesq public beach!



Whilst we were there helicopters were flying back & forward airlifting items onto the ships ... they looked like massive rolls of cable; so we figured that maybe they have something to do with preparing the vessel for the plan to try and float it back out at some stage this week ??!



We also had a bit of fun taking photos that looked like we were holding up the boat and trying to push it back out to sea ... hence, the top photo of Mark!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend too!

Have a great week!
