Steve and Sue drove us to the Tweed River Art Gallery near Tweed Heads where we viewed a variety of art works.
Before entering the building I stopped to have a good look at Mt. Warning. This is the first time we have been able to actually see it. On all the other occasions when it might have been possible it was hidden by clouds.
I am developing a real interest in woodblock prints since I saw some of Steve's work a few years ago. In my opinion, I think his are better than those on display. Really. His have a way of grabbing your attention that was missing in most of those on display. Photos were not allowed inside the gallery.
We then continued north to a spot in Queensland just north of Tweed Heads where we had a super lunch at a Surf Club. I ordered my regular seafood linguini (made with fresh seafood). Fantastic! But I left my camera in the car.
Following the meal we all had a pleasant walk on a great beach just north of the club. The waves looked a bit treacherous to me but the white sand was tremendous.

Too rough for me
The last few days have been especially relaxing as we have forgotten about both birds and geocaches and have simply been enjoying being in the moment. I continue to value the morning coffee on the verandah with the sounds of all the birds in the background.
