Looking through the casuarinas (she-oaks).

It looks absolutely gorgeous Bernie, i don't think i'd leave it !

It's the place we stop at for a cuppa whenever we travel down south by car. We usually end up having more than just one cuppa when we do stop though!

You get such good angles for your pictures, Bernieh.

Actually Mamagem this is exactly the view as I stepped out of the car onto the beach. Didn't need much thinking at all!

What a wonderful place to grow up and to live !

Yes TT - I didn't really appreciate it when I was younger. When you're young and growing up in a small town you just want to head to the bigger cities - when you're older you want to get away from them!

I can understand that... I grew up in a busy town, and am now in a slightly more rural location. Would prefer a country village .... or maybe your beach. Lol.

Huh - well I've moved from the beaches, to a medium sized city, to a capital city and now I'm out in the bush - (but have a few beaches nearby)! I don't think I could ever be too far away from a beach.

Can someone please transport me now!

lol Pansypotter I dont think star trek is there yet may be one day, tis lovely though and I love the way its been taken between the trees lovely

Ha - you two! Well when the teleporter is finally invented I'll have the picnic basket ready on the beach for you both!!

What a wonderful place Bernieh.

Now Star gate is not far off in reality accoriding to Nassa as I go on the Nassa site

Deida51 - it is a great spot and it always pleases me when I go back that it hasn't been spoiled by time and tourists.

Well, well - didn't know that Morgana! Oh I can think of some places I'd like to go to!

Me too if you go on to some of the sites you can learn alot on what goes on that people dont know and dont believe me until they read them selves, so now I upload the link then not a word of them sarcastically on another site I go on.

Good for you Morgana I hate sarcasm, maybe if it happens soon we could go together!

Would nt that be lovely a bit of warmth and sun shine and lovely scenery too.

Dreamtime!

This is my dream (like many others). Are we allowed to ask whereabouts in Oz that you live?

This photo Gwenvokes was taken in my hometown - a place in north Queenland called Bowen. I don't live there anymore but I still visit occasionally.

When can we visit ?

Oh I want to move there! It looks like Castaway Island.

Roseberry and Rhodea - you're most welcome anytime. I live not too far away from my hometown and I would be a willing travel guide.

Wow paradise :)

Scotkat - my hometown was labelled many moons ago as 'The Gem of the Coral Coast' which I thought was ridiculous (children don't appreciate what they have). The locals would call it 'Sleepy Hollow' because being surrounded by beaches, somehow all that sea air would make us all feel a bit drowsy most of the time!!

Is this in Australia?

Yes Rhodea - this is is north-eastern Australia.

What a dream place! We mostly have very dry hills here.Thousands of years ago this place was under water.We have a lot of dinosaur bones and fossils buried here...that's why we have a dinosaur museum that is famous.Also a huge manmade dinosaur tourist attraction,plus smaller cement dinosaurs around the town.

That sounds like something to see.

Yes.A million visitors come here a year! This is not a big town, but it can be interesting.I think this was the first place I actually saw a tumbleweed blow into out back yard.I've never seen this before....and cacti growing in the hills.( not to mention the stinging nettles that I fell in...but that's another story.Lol)

Sounds more like Arizona or New Mexico! Actually we have a type of tumbleweed over here too - fascinating stuff!

Surprisingly it's not as hot as Arizona and New Mexico here.At least we have some green to enjoy.Our winters can get windy.

Thats some view.......more pina colada than a cuppa, well for me that is........

Dottydaisy - the cafe at this small beach is a licensed restaurant as well, so you can definitely have your pina colada!

Thats alright then............
