Rocky Beach
If you have to have a rocky beach, there's no prettier way of having one than the one at Noosa National Park.

Hot Tub
In a crevasse in the rocks, two chaps with a death wish, frolic in the foam. It's an incredibly foolhardy pastime, and they have to dive under each incoming wave to avoid being dashed against the oyster covered rocks.

Monochrome Naturally
If you are here for Watery Wednesday, you will easily spot the patch of blue, (or you could just visit yesterday's post!). The monochrome look doesn't necessarily rely on sun and water, sometimes the trees take on the colour of the rocks as well.Noosa Heads

Another for good measure
I liked yesterday's photo a lot, so I thought I'd post another. Once again in full colour, it's enough to make one want to experiment in monochrome!

Tuff
I truly don't understand the reasoning behind owning a monster truck fitted out with the latest and greatest suspension in order to be able to drive down the fully paved road to the fully paved car parking area beside the beach.
Don't get me wrong, there is a place where off road vehicles are very useful, but I'm not sure that all that shiny chrome would survive at all well in that place.
Perhaps the owners just brought it down to teach it to swim.

Surf Shop
As you leave the beach at Mooloolaba, there's a reminder of what a great time you've just had.

More Happy Campers
Just to put yesterday's photograph in a bit of context.
And if it gets a bit of the wet stuff in the pic in time for WateryWednesday, then why not.

Incoming!
Another plane load of tourists on final landing approach, bringing with them all the resources that keep the accomodation houses, supermarkets and all of us really in the manner to which we would like to become accustomed. None of us like the holiday crowds of course, but we all benefit from the business they bring and the infrastructure that they pay for.

That Picnic Shelter
A few weeks ago, a picnic shelter was the centre of attention for a few days, when viewed from the inland side. To my delight, there's not a bad vantage point of it from the sea as well if one hops out on a few rocks and stands on tippy toe. There she be, on top of the cliff.

The Tropics
Technically we are in the sub-tropics here, and coconut palms are a rare sight indeed, except on the little patch of beach near the caravan park at Mooloolaba, where four survive the ravages of the tides. They look as though they have been naturally sprouted, but I have my doubts. For a start they'd have had to have found their way south against the prevailing winds and currents.
Anything is possible I suppose, and they do give a quite tropical feel to the place when one knows where to find them!
If you like watching water, you can find links to many more wet photos at WateryWednesday!

The New Kite
While Dad's reading the instructions, we might just get this thing into the air by ourselves. Two girls and a three year old make light work of kite flying.

Reading the instructions
Getting that kite into the air looks as though it's going to take a University Degree. Not a bad place to be studying for it though, on the rocks at Mooloolaba.

Signal
When we were kids, we'd escape along the beach for hours, crawling among the rocks or building huge canals through the wet sand. We didn't have watches to tell the time, so Mum used to hang a towel out the window as a signal that it was lunch time.
I suspect this Mum probably sent an SMS, or maybe a Tweet, but the signal brought back memories.

On the Beach
Meanwhile, back on the beach, life goes on. The lifeguards guard, mother's apply more UV cream, and NO ONE sits out in the sun with no protection.

Out The Back
Usually one tries to swim out beyond the point where the waves are actually breaking, or "out the back" as it's known. This gives one first go at the incoming wave, and keeps one away from other bathers.
Perhaps this doesn't apply in the peak of the summer holidays!

Surf Craft
Just as has happened for generations, life skills are passed down from father to son, from grandfather to grandson. There are no finer skills to be learned than those involved in catching a wave.

A Watery Wednesday Photo
Late afternoon on the Spit, Mooloolaba.

My Hat!
No, it's actually not mine, but I do have one like it.
Even late in the afternoon it's great for keeping those nasty rays off, but sometimes in the evening breeze it needs a steadying hand.
