This was a day with some smoke haze, but no smell of smoke in the air. The haze create some eerie light as the afternoon went on, with a big orange bushfire moon for a sun. Unfortunately I think this is just the Australian summer in all its varying weather patterns.

None of this affected the families interaction with Santa at the beach, lots of fun and the usual tears were had.....
