Saint Nicholas, whom you can see coming from afar on his white horse across the beach, accompanied by his faithful helper, Black Peter...

An image that many children will never forget, with the North Sea in the background. Parents capturing the wonder on all those children's faces in photos and videos...

Especially that Saint Nicholas himself, with his horse and his helper, will take photos with them, collect all their drawings and then sing songs with them in the Surfers Paradise clubhouse.

Then it was time for an exciting Sinterklaas story, followed by the highlight of the day: all 100 children had their photo taken with Sinterklaas and Piet, who then pulled a treat out of his bag for everyone.

Then everyone was given a mandarin orange as a farewell gift, and the annual Saint Nicholas celebration came to an end.
