Townsville, North Queensland

I recently spent a wonderful week in Townsville, visiting friends and enjoying the fantastic winter weather there.

Nearly every day the sunrise and sunset is a marvellous sight and experience. This is 'first light' over Rowes Bay, Townsville.
Later the same morning, 'sun-up' at the same vantage point.
One hour drive north of Townsville is the town of Lucinda, probably best known for the sugar wharf, shown here, that stretches to infinity. The island in the far background is Pelorus Island.

Dawn with Stormy Clouds - Sunday Island

This happened to be a very cold winter morning on Sunday Island. This island is situated south east of the state of Victoria, Australia. I was able to capture a series of photographs as the sun rose.
Photograph two in the series, my fingers were starting to turn blue by this stage.
Still cannot see the sun, still behind the clouds, but it is definitely there!
Later in the morning, dark clouds have moved on but light rain is now falling and this magnificent rainbow appeared.
