bird line up, originally uploaded by hooying.

I heard about the Gold Coast before coming to Australia so I have to check it out, not to mention its adjacency to Brisbane (2:30hr trip). Being in the mid-winter only has a minimal effect on the mild water temperature. People enjoy all sorts of water sports here as you will see in the next post.

The birds on the beach reminded me of the sea gulls in "Finding Nemo". I was really impressed on how truthfully the animation had captured these greedy birds as you can see they line up in front of a woman holding some bread in the picture above. What I didn't show here is the fierce fighting afterwards...mine, mine, mine...
