Destination, Outback NSW

 

Ian and Leonie, Outback NSW.

 

Ian and Leonie provide an update to the Mollymook Ocean Swimmers on their trip, Outback NSW. 

“We are travelling with our long time friends Shane and Noelene and our first stop was at Mildura. Wonderful Murray River foreshore walk then off to Wentworth experiencing the junction of the Murray and the Darling. Broken Hill was our next stop and armed Katie’s list of things to do it was all so good. RFDS, Art Galleries, Miners  Memorial (wow!) Silly Goat café, etc. it was such a good experience. Then to Menindee (sunset cruise but no sunset and not many birds) but lovely experience. Thru to Wilcannia then to White Cliffs where we are looking at opals. Well should I say Leonie is! Even in middle of the day avoiding kangaroo s ,emu’s and cattle is challenging. Biggest disappointment is there are not many bird sightings so far. Off to Cobar tomorrow. 

Not doing any swimming out here so will be a bit slow by the time we get back home. So far we have had so much fun most of which I can’t put on this medium. See you all next week in togs, Ian and Leonie. “.

News Updates: Mollymook Ocean Swimmers

 

The Mollymook’s Ocean Swimmers

 

From the British Isles, Kath gives an update on her retirement travels: Hello Mollymook Ocean swimmers.

Hope you’re all well, how are you going Gary?  We arrived on the Faroe Islands Monday afternoon and wow, what a landscape! These pics are from a place called Gasadalur on Vagar Island where the airport is. Lots of tunnels here to get through mountains or from island to island. We are now on Streymoy island. Google translator app has been very helpful, but most people speak English.

Hey Andrew, we loved Scotland, would have liked more time there. And we did go to Glasgow. Well I haven’t swam in this particular area yet, but will definitely be going in the ocean. Love, Kath from Mollymook.

Father Peter Hendricks shares this news with the Mollymook Swimmers.

 

From Peter the Priest: Two pieces of news from me. 

  1. My mum passed away last week (Wed 17th), while very sad, the good news element is that she was ready and it was peaceful. The family were all there for her last two days which was very precious.
  2. Last Saturday, the family gathered for my niece’s wedding, so in the midst of all that was happening, that was indeed a wonderful celebration.

Thanks for keeping everyone connected.  God bless.

Outback Queensland

 

Spent time at the ‘Charlotte Plains’ station, then onto Hebel. The bird life out here is amazing, I’ve taken a few thousand pics. I’m so busy, I haven’t had time to go through them all, but here are a few to give you another view of the outback.

Mollymook Ocean Swimmers Update

 

Where are Mollymook’s Ocean Swimmers

 

Charleville here we come: Yes the Queensland outback was Ken and June’s destination to catch up with former Mollymook Milton Ulladulla legend, John Sarich (nee Smeeth). After many years of giving and giving to the local  Mollymook Milton Ulladulla community and acknowledged on numerous occasions as well as being the originator of the Mollymook Ocean Swim group (read all about John and his accomplishments in the Mollymook Swimmers book), John has retired to an idyllic lifestyle in the peace and quiet of Charleville.

It was such a delight to catch up with John, he has a beautiful home and a lovely backyard, loves the outback and has become a real student of Australian history especially in relation to the outback.

John sends his regards to all and hopes to catch up with us and have a swim next time down our way.

Retirement: a new chapter in ones life

 

Destination Western Australia

 

Heather provides her retirement update, touring around Australia: “Hi to all the ‘Mollymook Ocean Swimmers’ hope all are well. A few more pics to share, we made our way South to Francois Peron national park at Shark Bay, amazing country & colours. Shell beach with no sand just tiny cockle shells. Big Lagoon camp then headed into a remote area, hectic 150klm return of 4wd rutted roads and sand hills to Steep Pt the most Western point in Australia. Camped at Shelter Bay on the beach such a stunning area. Artesian pool for a soak. Kalbarri next.”💨😘

Love & hugs H&P

Destination, Ocean Swimming in Scotland

 

Summer in Scotland

 

Kath writes: “Hello dear swimming friends hope you are all well and looking forward to spring. I keep forgetting it’s summer here Scotland, we have not experienced any heatwaves here. Ocean temperature a steady 12degrees and the change room on the beach is chilly. But worth every minute😊 (Geoff’s not good at smiling for photos)☺️

Isle of Sky, Isle of Harris and Lewis were spectacular. We are in lovely Inverness for a couple of days. On Monday we leave beautiful Scotland for the Faroe Islands”.

Hope you are all keeping well and that Garry is on the improve, Love Kath.X

First adventure, beginning retirement

 

Destination Western Australia

 

Heather provides her retirement update, taking off on a tour around Australia:

“We made it to WA and the van has been amazing, we have free camped half the time since we left home, Loving Wiki camps. Had a swim at Ceduna it was a tad cool but the suns been out. Canola fields, wind farms, back roads. Long straight roads 😉road trains. We have made our way up the middle in the mining area, so many mines, I’m surprised. Done a lot of back road driving. Called into Kalgoorlie and off road to a site with aboriginal rock art, we then headed to Karijini national park a highlight for both of us. Such a stunning area full of gorges and colour and texture. Hope all the swimmers are doing well” 😘
