Classes 4-5 and 6 were at Collaroy Beach on Friday to develop our surf-safe skills. The weather was perfect, the waves were beckoning, but unfortunately the bluebottles were having their carnival! Our young trainers kept us active on the sand: we sand surfed, we sand rescued. When we ventured even ankle deep, we got stung. There were some excellent lessons in how to treat bluebottle stings (hot water, or ice; not vinegar, and definitely don’t rub sand).
As children do, we still managed to have a great time. And we saw a lady taking her 2-meter golden python for a beach walk! Ah, beach culture.
