Carmila beach has a long stretch of unspoiled bush accessed by maze of sandy tracks. There is no surf due to the reef, but good fishing according to people lucky enough to catch them
The tidal drop of around 6 metres, across a fairly flat beach, leaves some interesting patterns as the water runs out.
Sunrise through sheoaks. Recent big seas had washed many large sheoaks into the water. We made a fire with the dry wood and were surprised to find it burned very well.
Crawelled our way up the coast with peak hour hordes streaming out of Brisbane. Arrived in Coolum just on dark, so decided a meal and beer in the surf club would be a good idea.
Got up early to take some photos on the beach. There were lots of dogs and humans playing with tennis balls and sticks.
Even a strange two legged spaniel
We left Coolum and headed away from the coast. Taking the back roads on the western side of the mountains to avoid the traffic. All was well until we set up camp and the temperature dropped to around minus seven degrees.
We did, however, find where the wheel was invented. Not in ancient Greece or Rome, but in a paddock out the back of Gayndah, Queensland
I think the tyre was a later refinement.
