  Nice for the tourist crowds to have departed back to the city so we locals can get to the beach again!   The seagulls may think differently perhaps..less fish and chips for them? Also nice for the cyclone season to be almost finished. One ended up a little close for comfort down this way lately..but luckily departed out to sea instead of crossing the coast! Suppose that means we ended up with less rain than we could have had for the summer. The farmers might be still looking for more?   My moon shots aren't the most professional, but it is still fun trying, watching it, and posting!   Here is Stumpy the water dragon...
