- the sound of the birds - chirping, carolling, calling to each other
- the 'thwack-thwack' of people walking by in thongs (*), the crunch of their shoes on the gravel, the squelch of wet feet in crocs
- the clang of the toilet door shutting a thousand times each day
- the constant drone of cicadas
- the sounds of kids playing - squeals, calls, laughter interspersed with the odd toddler tantrum and sibling squabble
- the feel of the breeze and the sun on my face
- the sound of the milko in the morning with his 'cow horn' and the seafood man later in the day 'fresh prawns, fresh prawns, other seafood available'
- the click of bike tyres and the harder sound of the scooters, skateboards and rip-sticks
- sounds of an impromptu cricket match or footy match or game of catch
- the smell of bacon in the morning and steak, onion and sausages at night
- the greetings 'morning' as people pass each other and the inevitable small talk about the weather or the cricket
- happy sounds. holiday sounds.
* thongs - flip-flops, footwear, not the underwear kind :)
