To The Gold Coast

Sunday was warm and sunny so we drove to the beach about 10 minutes away for a walk along the boardwalk. There was a cooler breeze blowing and the seas were rough following the rainy stormy weather we had just had. As usual the view towards Pumicestone Passage from around towards Kings Beach was stunning. There were jet skiers, surfers, people picnicking across the water on Bribie Island and strollers everywhere. The water is a little murky following the rain flushing out some of the local creeks.

From there it was back to our home and an hour or so beside the pool (or in it for a short time as the rain has cooled the water) and a couple of drinks and a chat.

Today we are driving down to the Gold Coast to spend a couple of nights with Det and Brenda, a couple we met on our trip to Vietnam and China. Det is now heavily into both sides of home brewing, that is brewing and drinking! They live at Burleigh Waters near Burleigh Heads, a most magnificent and picturesque beach on the Gold Coast.

We expect to get home Wednesday about lunch time.

Tuesday is my birthday!
