Kite flying is fantastic sport on the beach! You should definitely get yourself one.

How does one ‘get yourself’ a beach?

By living close by one. That’s what I chose to do.

I’ve never lived as far from the sea as i do now.

I grew up with the beach at the end of the street, a couple of hundred metres away.

I lived in a house that was forty metres from a surf beach, like two houses and a low sand dune away.

I was twenty years in a house near Bundaberg that was two streets from the sea, and ten minutes walk across the park to a beach.

I do miss it, but not as much as i might have imagined i would.
