Summer isn’t quite over yet

Kings Beach development
I went for a walk around the new Kings Beach development with the Damselfly and just realised again how the beachfront has been enhanced. And its not even finished yet. I can't wait to see the new additions they're still working on. Plus what is yet to come.

Harbour and Campanile

The last weeks of summer
