we finally were able to drive to the beach the day before I left for home.. the sea looked very angry right on the sand dunes , these pretty little pink flowers were poking their way through...  very very pretty, even Master Four thought they were great. when I got back and was editing the photos I took, I remembered I had a neighbor who grew up in Gympie and called these flowers, Aunty Dot's weed! Aunty Dot was her sister! look how strong the ocean was! the family found a more sheltered place to have a little swim.. then we went to Moffatt Beach and ate our fish and chips as the sun went down...very nice.. A nice little time to spend at the beach after a wild few days of the cyclonic influence going past.. and before I finally had some way of returning home, luckily by bus and trains,  as they had started moving again by then! I found less mess at home than I had expected, no flooding downstairs but no power on, which was a little frustrating....

The Beach is the place to be during Australia's heatwave days. Currimundi Lake was the place to be for us during New Year and family visitors The kids really love the place. Something for everyone! May God go with all the firefighters throughout Australia in the next week of massive heatwave temperatures. Many thanks for Ian Davidson and David Allen for their permission to use the words of a song sung at Sunday service on 16th December 2012.

come for a walk... a nice view from the Surf life saver's lookout...this wind sock must be for the parachuters who regularly land here... lots of room for everyone, and every beach and water activity...from the surf on one side.. a walk through the bush along the edge of the lake even a scrub turkey too multi-story apartment buildings the lake provides lots of room and activities for the whole family...many families...what a lovely place.
