About six weeks ago, my friends Jo and Semi moved from Sydney to Sunshine Beach, just south of Noosa Heads. Thursday was my first chance to head up for a visit. Despite it having been our driest November on record, as fate would have it, the heavens opened not long after I set out. The conditions were so bad that several cars pulled over to the side of the road rather than risk continuing on, but I followed a big, well-lit truck through the worst of it. Fortunately, the rain had eased off by the time I arrived, so much so that after being shown over their new home and discussing their renovation plans, Jo and I decided to risk a beach walk to Noosa.

The patterns created by sand beads around the entrance to crabs' burrows could have been hung on a gallery wall.

What a beautiful beach! Oh, I haven't been to a beach in ages! I love the smell of the ocean, and the feel of sand on my toes. What a cute sandal tree!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't been to the beach for a while either, but they are only an hour or two's drive from here. When I get there I vow I will never leave it so long again.
