Our First Dud Weekend!

This past weekend Mike & I headed to Perth to check out the 'World's Biggest BBQ'. We had seen/heard advertisements for this event which was sponsored by the Lottery Corp (lotteries are big down here also!) and hosted by Surf Life Saving WA - groups from Broome all the way down the west coast around to Albany participated.

We had high hopes of Life Saving demonstrations and competitions, similar to the event we had caught the end of the last time we visited Scarboro beach. We even booked a hotel room in Perth to be sure we arrived at the beach early.

Alas, when we got to the beach, we found the BBQ but discovered that there were no Life Saving demos or competitions scheduled by the Scarboro club. The weather was cool and mostly overcast and quite windy. So our beach plans quickly evaporated.

As usual however, there were many surfers at the beach on a Sunday, so Mike did manage to catch some reasonable photos of them at least.

Guess we can't complain - one weekend of poor planning over the past 9 1/2 months isn't too bad of an average!
