On his holiday, the author helped put up a tent at Nagambie and went swimming in the pool which was too hot to play tennis. They went fishing and caught a small fish but had to throw it back due to its size. At the beach, the author went surfing and had a friend over to play, after fishing with his dad the day before and catching only shrimp. The pool was their main activity on a very hot day where they spent time swimming and using the rope swing over water 3 to 4 meters deep.
