I love when we see something unique on our morning beach walks. This castle was built by layering of wet sand often dripped onto the rock and it was left for us to enjoy.
What do you leave in your path for others to find?
Someone had an idea when they placed these sticks in the sand
What would be your caption?
We found this at the beach the night after last new full moon- giving a new perspective to the beach.
Sometimes just one thing can change our picture.
With all the driftwood on the beach after recent big storms, some people see debris spoiling the usually pristine sands. Others see a gift for creativity.
What do you see when everything goes pear-shaped and plans fall apart?
Surf carnival at Tallebudgera, Queensland, with surfboats ready to race. The surfboat, with a team of rowers and a sweep, used to be part of the basic surf rescue setup on Australian beaches. They were used when individual lifesavers on long reel lines could not get beyond the breakers for a rescue or for mass rescues.
These days they have given way to inflatable rescue craft. Now the surfboats are used for feats of strength and skill and have become the centre of a flourishing sub-culture within the volunteer surf lifesaving movement.
The surfboats were traditionally crewed by males only, when the surf lifesaving clubs were male only. There are now many all women crews, although we have noticed sometimes, when we’ve seen women crews practising locally, that they have a male sweep on board.
Man or woman, a surfboat is no place for the faint-hearted. There is an old joke that when surf clubs were choosing their boat crews they would line up the contenders and throw bricks at them: the ones who didn’t duck got to be on the crew.
How do you choose your crew?
