Christmas eve brought gale force winds. Gusts of wind shook the cabin walls. Every time we opened the door everything in our little cabin flew round and round like we were in a hurricane.
Ian and I took a walk while the kids were at Kid's Club and I almost got blown off the rocks by an unexpectedly strong gust that pushed me from behind. Luckily Ian grabbed my arm just in time.
Christmas eve also brought Santa riding a NSW Rural Fire Service truck. The wind was so loud I almost didn't hear him ringing his bell! He handed out baggies of gummy lollies to the kids:
Christmas day dawned gray and cold. We went for an amazing hike (see next post). Then the rain settled in. Chilly, torrential downpours. Brr....
Boxing day was the coldest in 122 years. It was freezing. Luckily it was the first full day of Kid's Club so the kids spent all day doing crafts and playing with friends. There was even a movie night in the evening... so the kids had a fantastic day despite the lousy weather.

Almost falling off a cliff - yikes!
What a great Aussie Christmas you all had and the place you stayed sounds great.
How cold was it?
I love Santa in the fire truck!

It got up to about 14c... which is 58 F.
A bit chilly for the beach :-)
14C is a jacket and scarf weather, not a beach weather at all.
