Paradise Beach

Paradise Beach is Emily's home. She has grown up here with her Gran and Gran's helper-friend Mamasita, along with her best friend Sam.

Emily loves the seaside village, with houses of so many different styles and materials, built in different centuries, some with plumbed toilets, others still with long drops! What embarasses Emily the most about her little village is the honey cart: a great big, yellow, round cement like looking truck that sucks up all their wee and poo from the septic tanks. On days that the honey cart comes to empty their tank, Emily makes sure she is far away, as the stench is anthing but honey-like!

Emily's favourite place in the village is the face brick library on the village common since her head is always stuck in one book or another. She also likes the smell, quiet and calm that can be found in the one roomed library. Next to the library, to it's left, are the swings where she will often meet Sam, even though they are too big to use them. It is here that she first saw the ugliest beak faced monkey thing that aspirated in a puff!

The village is accessed from the main road, many kilometers away. A single tarred road goes all the way down to the parking lot at the Tea room. The tea room is the heavenly place where ice creams, sweets by the dozen, magazines, bits, bobs, bread and milk, meat and mustard, tea and coffee - the basics - can be found. People on day trips will sometimes stumble into the village and almost always end up staying for lunch at the tea room, looking out over the rock pool and large white lipped ocean.

Paradise Beach, according to Emily, is heaven!
