All around our camper trailer are the reflections of beach houses, emerald green hills and gently bobbing boats. If we venture further afield we find emotions reflected in the boil of the stormy ocean, the serene waters of the top lake and the aerial mastery of pelicans.
It's a place for looking forward and looking back.
Yesterday, as this Mama took an early morning walk along the boardwalk at the lake's edge, thoughts turned to past times here. Years and years of family holidays were spent in this delightful part of the world. Back in those days there was Nan and Pa helping to look after us, taking us on their boat and fishing with us. Our cousins would sometimes come too and family felt much closer. It is not melancholy that Mallacoota inspires, but rather gratitude for those special times that this Mama holds in her heart. And hope, too, that these few days here will be a part of my girls' special holiday memories as they grow.
