The lik lik beach

This is the little beach under the escarpment where we live. It's called the 'lik lik' (little beach) for obvious reasons. 



To get down to it is a walk along the escarpment, 



then a bit of a stair climb to get down to the water,



and a stroll to the beach part.



There are plenty of treasures (and trash) to be found along the way- coconuts and mangroves that have washed up from somewhere else and decided to sprout and plant themselves wherever they land. Driftwood galore (Stu is making a bit of a collection). A cacophony of coral. And unfortunately a bit of modern life paraphernalia that has made it's way across the ocean to Lihir Island (I wonder if anything from Fuskishima will eventually make it's long-winded way here?).



Can't wait until Ed can sit himself up in the rock pools (although I guess that equates to me being on 'mouth watch' at the same time).
