I too think travel is uplifting, a chance to see the world beyond the familiar where one lives. We are thinking of a longer trip with our son this year, perhaps in the Autumn, so he can broaden his horizons more too.

I saw a few different things made with collected shells while I was on Straddie.

I'm not sure ice-cream gets better than a gelati on Straddie, Chris. Delicious scoops in a cone, walk cross the road, sit in the little park and watch the waves roll in while trying to catch any drips. Perfect!

Places like Straddie, and your Caloundra, kind of weave their way into your heart. For me, Straddie is about that unspoilt natural beauty but it's also tradition - it's where our family always goes on holiday. I hope 2018 is a happy year for you and your loved ones too.
