After a good night’s sleep (having eventually gotten over the shock of being mildly electrocuted!) Larissa and I were surprised by Kim with a cup of tea in bed! I then got up to find all her family in the garden; I followed them outside and was very excited to discover that they were cooking up a storm for everyone – brekkie on the barbie! Yum!
We enjoyed our brekkie rolls and tea, chatting away outside in our PJs – pleased that it was mild enough to do so. Shortly after finishing brekkie, we said goodbye to them as they all headed off to watch a footie match of some description (someone’s brother was playing or something!). Kim, Larissa and I spent the rest of the morning chilling out and chatting, having a proper girlie catch up, over a few cups of tea.
Deciding it was time to get dressed, we sorted ourselves out and Kim took us for a drive, to go see the sights of Bodalla. As the town is so tiny, this didn’t take very long at all, so we went a bit further out, to a place called Potato Point. The exciting thing about Potato Point was that what it lacked in potatoes, it made up for in kangaroos! There were hundreds of them, all merrily hopping about around a little lake! They were very laid back and certainly in no rush to move out of the way of the car – we had to manoeuvre around them!
On the way back to the house, we picked up a DVD from the petrol station (yes, it’s where they get their DVD rentals from!) – Kim suggested the movie, called ‘Bran Nue Dae’ which neither Larissa or I had ever heard of, but she explained it was a recent low budget Aussie movie that had made it quite big.
We got all comfy and spent the rest of the arvo chilling in the lounge, watching some tv. Kim put the dinner on and once it was in the oven, we started watching the DVD with a few drinks. The film was absolutely brilliant; so funny, yet very moving – it was a kind of musical, set in the late 1960s based on the life of an aboriginal teenager in Broome. We laughed a lot and were very pleased at Kim’s choice. The dinner was amazing – a delicious roast chicken, which we enjoyed with a glass of wine. The rest of the evening was great fun, just relaxing with the girls and a few more drinks. We decided to watch Austin Powers, which had us in hysterics, before it was time for bed (I made extra sure not to get electrocuted this time!).
