I guess shore line would be the more accurate term. Either way the shots
are quite spectacular. I can see that in order to compete with Rob and

covered bridges, maybe I can come up with some fresh perspectives along
that line.

It's just a short drive from Brisbane, but I'd be hard pressed to call
it a beach where the photos were taken. Pretty spot though.
