Opposites

In the background, the new way - $2,000 per weekend
In the foreground, the old way - $2,000 drive away, no more to pay, the Kombi camper.

Both work for me!

Mooloolaba Beach

Colours

If you wear clothes from this shop, you'll stand out in the crowd, unless of course you are shopping inside it, in which case you will become near invisible!

Eumundi Markets

Sea of Bins

Tidy towns are great, and civic mindedness is better still, but do we really need this density of refuse bins?

I wonder too, at the urban planning thought behind the camouflage paint on the electrical switchboard. Can you spot it? Happy? Playful? Silly?

Wouldn't it have been so much nicer to have had them designed integrally into the picnic shelters?

Mooloolaba

Longboard

One of those new fangled standup boards with a paddle that pretends to be an old board but unlike an old board, it weighs nothing. It can however, be ridden on a wave no bigger than a ripple like this one on the Spit.

Mooloolaba

Lost Soles

I know it's a cheap shot, but have a personal aversion for this behaviour. Someone has paid enough money to keep a family in another part of the globe for many months if not a year, yet has so little consideration for all that it's funny to vandalize a public utility.

I must be getting old, but they don't deserve new shoes.

Posted today even though I used it on my other blog a few days ago, because I've seen enough similar shots to realize it's a world wide habit.

Mooloolaba

Boat Girls

The Caloundra Surf Club girls crew trains at Mooloolaba in an eerie slick. Boats like these were originally used for surf rescue, but are now purely racing craft.

Strange lighting indeed for a place in which overcast days are relatively rare (unless it's raining of course!)

Mooloolaba

Red Towel

The house rules always forbid anything hanging from the balcony handrails.
No one ever reads the house rules.

It's Showtime!

Drinking and driving do not mix at the best of times, and here the penalties are severe. It's very common for Clubs to provide a courtesy bus to deliver patrons to their homes after a big night out, and this club has a five storey carpark as well.

I'm still trying to figure what the carpark reflection in the window of the courtesy bus is trying to tell us!

Mick's Meat Barn

In the 70's shopping was done at these small strip centres. Mick's Meat Barn has been serving customers from these premises for over two decades, and is likely to do so for the forseeable future, having narrowly missed total destruction after an arson attack a year or two ago.

Here's what you do if you don't have enough paint to paint your whole wall.

If you like window shopping, here's your chance to pick your next surfboard.

Waiting for a Wave

The water has started to chop up, the tide is high, and the swell is starting to disappear, but this young lady waits for a wave to take her back to shore till the new day.

Lighthouse

The modern lighthouse at Pt Cartwright is white except when it catches the last orange ray of the setting sun.

Cafe View

Looking out under a torn awning from the Art Cafe on the corner, a glimpse of a timber "Queensland" vernacular house.

Blonde

It's been a few days since the redhead appeared here, I suspect my theory about them breeding is correct. This one is definitely a new reproduction rather than an antique (a shamtique?).

Eumundi Markets

Big Cow

Some of our entrepreneurs are so insecure with reliance on the abundant natural attractions, that they feel obliged to prop up the local economy, by creating their own.

The Big Cow
Nambour

Seventy Seven

77 The Esplanade Mooloolaba, is an office building on the beach surrounded by Norfolk Island Pines. Quite a pleasant location to work from if work one must!

When the architecture is uninspiring, it's time to try the "old mirror trick" for the camera!

Station Crane

A hand operated relic still in operation, but I don't know what for. Certainly not to lift anything onto the tilt train.

Cooroy Railway Station

Frangipani Flowers

I just don't get Frangipanis. It's definitely not Spring, and this tree is definitely starting to drop its leaves as it should with winter just round the corner, but it figured it would give us a big Autumn show of flowers anyway.

Maybe it just likes me!

Lifestyle catalogues free. I know they publishers describe them as "magazines" but even the editorial is a not too thinly disguised sales pitch.

Autumn

Yesterday was Anzac Day, a public holiday, and a few hardy souls braved the beach at Noosa in perfect Autumn conditions. 27°c with 22° water temperature. This is why the place is called the Sunshine Coast!

Main Beach
Noosa

Wall Flowers

Two photos of flowers in three days - what's happening to me?

We don't have seasons which are defined by weather extremes, snow, deciduous trees, or flourishes of colour in springtime, so it is rare to see window boxes or pots such as these.

Flowers in Autumn.

Montville

Resort Living

The Resort Lifestyle is what we are all sold. Chairs that need beautiful people to lie on them, they don't look anywhere near as lovely with me reclining on the cushions.

African Tulips

Messy things they are, and they disperse seed all through the native bushland too!

Naughty trees!

But they are pretty when in flower, and their seed pods are beautiful little canoe-like creations.

Verandahs

The verandah is an integral part of the Australian way of life, even if it's just a balcony, it's somewhere to have a barbecue, hang the towels, and just enjoy being in the fresh air.

Tilt Train

The Tilt Train is the closest thing we have to a fast efficient transportation system. The fact that it has the potential to travel at 200 kilometres per hour, but the track between the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane is only rated at 50 -80 kilometres per hour hasn't quite sunk in with the politicians.

Therefore we have a fast train, but a slow service!

Sunhats

The sorts of hats that scream "buy me" when they are stacked on the market stall, but need a good deal of bravery to be worn in public during daylight hours.

A pair of surfers wait for the ship to pass before going into the water.

Fried Out Kombi

Travelling in a fried-out kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?"

-Men at Work, 1980.

Swimming Bin

Although vandalism is relatively rare, and thankfully of a minor nature. The consequences of hanging out in a park when drunken nightclubbers return in the early hours of Saturday morning, particularly when you are a rubbish bin, can be quite severe.

Go Maroons

Queensland's sporting colours are Maroon and Gold, the State's Rugby League team, in what must have been a divinely inspired moment is known simply as "The Maroons". For those unfamiliar with the particular shade of deep red, here it's pronounced Marone, like "malone".

Walking home with the shopping, at the top of the bluff.

Muddies

Mudcrabs, cooked and chilled await their final destination. Before cooking the "muddies" are a dull brown-green mud colour, but brighten up considerably after being boiled! To give some scale to the picture, the claws are about seven and a half centimetres (three inches) thick.

Nipper Boards

Surf Clubs have junior divisions for primary school kids, called "Nippers" which is slang for young children, and also the claws of a crab or yabbie. They have national competitions in all the grown up disciplines with all the equipment scaled down appropriately.

Nipper rescue boards waiting for the crew to come back from a swim session.

Beach Umbrella

Usually beach umbrellas are large colourful things which stand tall and shade numbers of towels and bags and all the paraphernalia necessary for a day at the beach. This rain umbrella just doesn't look comfortable enough for two.

Seasons Greetings

It's one of the great cop-outs, wishing someone a "Happy Holiday", or "Seasons Greetings" when you really mean "Merry Christmas" but are trying oh so valiantly not to offend sensitivities which may not exist.

It does have one major benefit though. You don't have to take down the decorations. Twelve months a year there's a season, so "Seasons Greetings" whatever that may mean to you in April.

For Joan, who is much cleverer at photographing this sort of thing than I can ever hope to be. Taken near our fish pond at the home of the bitingmidge.

Beach Hopscotch

Have you ever wondered why sea birds have two legs? They seem to spend an awful lot of time standing on just one of them when they are ashore. I suppose if they only had one, they'd swim in circles.

A Pied Oystercatcher I think, but because I'm not much of a bird watcher. I'll happily take any suggestions!

Mooloolah River

Suevic Flats

Sue and Vic's pride and joy.

For the Sunshine Coast, buildings from the sixties are almost historically antique. This signage smacks beautifully of post-war home handiwork, and is in stark contrast to the slick modern apartments of latter times.

Water

When you live on the coast and the theme is 'water', deciding how much water to include in a single photograph becomes problematic.

Storm surf at Alexandra Headland doesn't particularly make a beautiful scene, but for those that can get out, there is always the satisfaction of telling their Mum they rode a ten footer!

If they don't drown.

From Alexandra Headland, looking towards Maroochydore.
