A Narrative About A Beach Trip

916 Words4 Pages

My dad and his mate, Trevor, had planned to do a trip to “Yorkes” for the weekend because they just love camping and surfing. Trevor and Dad had been doing these trips since they were our age and they wanted to show my mate Aden who was coming with me, and I around to surf the pumping waves of the Yorke Peninsula
Trevor, Aden, Dad and I started to pack the 2 vans in the early afternoon on a Friday ready to leave that night. We packed the van with our swags, tent, food, drinks, cooker, Esky, surfboards and body boards.
We set off on the long journey around midnight on a summer’s night. It was dark and a little bit chilly so we rugged up in the car and prepared ourselves for long ride to Yorke Peninsula. Aden had the better seat of coarse so he had more room and …show more content…

We all headed down there in the scorching heat to see what it was like, it would have been over 30 degrees at least. Once again Aden and I stumbled out the car, we looked over the board walk and seen this left hand wave reeling the whole way into the beach. We suited up and ran down to the beach, The sand was so hot under our feet we had to run to the water’s edge to reduce the chance of burning our feet, the moment that the water hit our feet we felt relived it was a nice refreshing temperature. We stayed out there for most of the day while Dad, Trevor and Trevor’s girlfriend sat in a rock pool watching us catch some waves.
We had a long day so we decided to head back to camp, eat some food and get some sleep. When we got to camp Aden and I went exploring through the sand dunes and scrub. After 10 minutes of walking we come across a walking track that lead to a beach which had a break called Pondalowie. It was a left and right with a shallow reef on the inside, it wasn’t quite big enough and the wind was the wrong direction so we decided to walk

  • Australian Bushranger Research Paper

    For over 40 years the life and times of the Australian Bushranger, Ben Hall has held my imagination. My first introduction to the name Ben Hall came about by my father when on a long drive from our home in Queensland to our former Victorian home following my fathers service in Viet Nam, and our first opportunity as a family to visit my grandmothers and the wider family of Uncles, Auntys and Cousins, and to recover my sister who was holidaying at the family 's holiday home at Phillip Island. As for anyone who has taken the long road anywhere, a car ride of such distance could be tiresome, not with my father, who had a great interest in the early history of Australia and as well as a wider interest in world history. (something I have inherited) He was a collector of weapons from the earliest periods relating to our country and those which flooded the colony during the great gold rushes of the 1850 's - 1860 's, the Colts Revolvers, Lee Enfield Rifles, The Brown

Casey fills the pages of this book with accounts of seeing drowned and cut-up men washing up on the shore, not being able to see where the wave is in low visibility, and other descriptions to that effect. With great adventures comes an even greater risk, and although surfing the

  • Analysis Of Why The Beach Is A Bummer By Roxane Gay

    242 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the NY Times article “Why the Beach Is a Bummer,” Roxane Gay exploits the beach and the ways it never actually lives up to the expectation many have when summer comes around. Gay speaks of her childhood on the beaches of Haiti and how beautiful it was, but how different it is in the United States because there's such a high expectation for the beach since many areas aren’t surrounded by them. “The beach becomes a kind of utopia — the place where all our dreams come true”(Gay), meaning the beach becomes romanticized by so many when in reality there’s just sand in places where it doesn't belong whether in your book or on your body. Gay expresses how soon after arriving at the beach boredom approaches from having nothing to do besides
