Tiagum Shopping – March 29th (Monday)


A humid day, we decided to check out Taigum Mall. Taigum is an outlet mall with the best pricing we’ve seen since arriving down-under! At Lowes we bought 100% cotton shirts & tops for $2 & canvas OZ bags for .50 cents – got to love the end-of-summer sales! We checked out the 100+ stores and had a field day! We ate lunch at Gloria Jean’s Coffee (my full name sake) while the barista ground some coffee to try back in Brighton. We grocery shopped at Woollies but managed to avoid buying the meat special of the day: $19 for 4 jumble chicken patties, 6 kebabs, 500 g chicken wings & a # 14 chicken! What a hoot!
Tonight was a full moon. We walked along the boardwalk and marvelled at the night sky. The moon was so bright the ocean glistened like in daylight; a large perfect halo surrounded the moon & the Southern Cross was etched in the sky! Locals fished from the break wall (catch & release) enjoyed a beer & socialized. A wonderful breeze cooled the evening and the lights from the esplanade houses provided a warm glow to guide our path. An absolutely marvellous night!
