At Joe's school, all students start a musical instrument in grade three. Joe took up the violin and enjoys learning to play and performing either for us or in the Junior String Ensemble.

Recently Joe's school presented a variety of acts at the seabreeze festival held along the Nightcliff foreshore. Rapid Creek was where I grew up and we often went to the beach for a swim although I would be a little reluctant now with the increasing numbers of crocodiles that live in the North of Australia.

That aside, there are few things more pleasing that taking a late afternoon stroll along the foreshore in the dry season.

If you add in a concert and stalls selling all manner of food and drinks you have a recipe for fun.
