Mooloolaba SLSC

Looking east toward the shore and Mooloolaba Main Beach, you can just make out the tents of the Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club carnival being held under the looming skies. No rains fell though and it looked a great day to be in the surf.

Mooloolaba Mornings

Third stop, back in the protection of the Mooloolaba Bay out of the wind and swell. The morning views were idyllic.

Cardinal Marker

Second stop, the East Cardinal marker affectionately known as the blinker off Mooloolaba. The wind was surprisingly strong and a mixed up swell from different directions made the seas a little confused out here.

Mudjimba Visit

First stop, Mudjimba Island. Apparently there is some prime reef here for snorkeling and scuba diving. I jsut have to buy me some gear and get in the water next time.

Mooloolaba Harbour

Leaving the safety of Mooloolaba Harbour and the Mooloolah River on the way to a meeting with the Pacific Ocean.

Paperbark Wetland

This stand of Paperback trees (melaleuca) lies on the western shores of Ewan Maddock Dam. It looks like a veritable wonderland for paperbark trees.

Cross Winds

A windy afternoon on the golf course at Maroochydore.

Sunsets

Beautiful sunsets and clouds are always a welcome sight.

Bribie Bar Too

Just watching the waves roll by on the bar.

Old Navigation Tower

Looking out to see you can make out the reamins of an old navigation tower. The only thing left are the foundation piles that were driven into the sand to stabilise it. Erosion over the last 30 years has brought this tower to the beach front, when it was originally in the middle of the island.

Bribie Bar Waves

A still of the steep windblown swells and waves entering the Pumicestone Passage via the new Bribie Bar.

Hazy Summer View
