Come with me on my walk on the surf beach.....it is windy, overcast and hard work.

Here we are, the first day of the September school holidays in Queensland Australia and the beach could not be quieter. The sun is not shining so the sand is looking quite dark despite the blue sky in this photo. The dark clouds hiding the sun is behind me as I walk down the beach.

I warn you that this is not as beautiful as it can be on a warm sunny day. There is another side to the beach at times, the weather gets in the way!



The blustery wind and threatening dark storm clouds may have driven the holiday makers back to their resorts for afternoon drinks. But then it was 4pm and maybe parents took their children to the beach early in the morning.



I know that families had played on the beach because check out this one little sandplay. Sadly no line up to be presented in this post today.



To my great interest there was a wedding in progress on the beach. I love seeing weddings, they are happy occasions and common. The downfall to such a venue is the beastly unpredictable weather. Unfortunately for the bride and groom with their bridal party and guests the wind would have been most unpleasant. I was surprised that the bridal party had not moved to shelter of the park in front of the resorts.



Despite this beach being an open surf beach and not always busy, there alway seems to be plenty to talk about and photograph. Thanks for walking with me.
