Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast south of Brisbane Queensland is fairly well world renowned... for its beaches and high rises... and possibly the night life It is a long time since I have been anywhere remotely near there but this last week I spent two days there minding the baby while his Mum was at a conference. So I took the baby for a walk to the beach close by on the first afternoon we were there and he went to sleep in the pram before we even got there (he hasn't been well) So I took some photos with one hand a little difficult but some of them turned out.

Not a bad day at the beach...before heading back to the city for a bit.
