Afternoon Storm Clouds - Dundowran Beach

Summer is our 'wet season' and storm clouds in the afternoon are a common sight at Dundowran Beach. This photograph is directed towards Toogoom, roughly N-W from here.

A Morning Walk - Hervey Bay

This was a wonderful morning for an early walk along the beach with my camera, and where is there a better place to do this than the beautiful Hervey Bay.
The Jacaranda comes into season in our Spring, in the wonderful State of Queensland, Australia. These trees are somewhat different to most, in that they are bare over winter then bloom with abundant mauve flowers that fall to the ground and produce a mauve carpet. The flowers are then gradually replaced by the foliage. The 'show' is at the beginning of the season and then the trees become somewhat plain over Summer.
Moha Moha is a recent piece of sculpture that has been placed on the Hervey Bay foreshore at Torquay Beach. The sea creature is reported to have a round body about 8 feet in diameter, a long fish tail, a long tortoise like neck and head and be about 30 feet in length.

Maroochy River Area

This is the Maroochy River at the city of Maroochydore. The river exits to the sea through the area where there is a gap in the coastal tree line. The river is a fabulous area for water activities such as swimming, boating or fishing. The surf beach is very popular with board and body surfers. I must take a photograph of the surf beach and include it in another post.
The climate of this area is classed as 'sub tropical' and we are heading towards the wet season. Each afternoon the clouds begin to build up and often produce overnight rain
