Typical Queensland Houses


Clapperboard houses are the norm over here , in the city they can be a bit tatty , but beside the seaside they come into their own and are generally better cared for.

David's Dream Car 1959 Chevrolet Bellair





All along our drive we saw classic cars like this 1959 Chevrolet Bellair, on Sundays Australians like to show them off and take them for a run down the coast.

Shorncliffe Pier



North Moreton Bay Coastal Drive

Today we had an outing on the North Moreton Bay Coastal Drive taking in the towns of Shorncliffe , Brighton, Scarborough and Redcliffe. We walked out the pier at Shorncliffe and had a rather unfortunate encounter. The pier was covered with fishermen , and our attention was attracted to three people strugging with what we had assumed was a fish which had been placed inside a plastic vessel. We all gathered round for a closer look as they tipped the vessel towards the water, crowding in to get an even closer look , we were horified when the proceeded to pour not a fish but the ashes of a loved one into the waters of the bay. They did look at us a little strangeley!!!
