Sunrise Skies

Sunrise is a beautiful time on the beach - not too hot, not too cold, the light varies from ethereal fog when even the sounds of the waves are muffled and you can't see a soul along the length of the beach, to pale blue skies that brighten as the minutes pass to become cloudless azure skies, to sunlit clouds that shine with a rosy glow and rays of light streaming out as the clouds clear. Even dim, cloudy mornings that completely obscure the sun (mind you these normally clear by mid morning) have their own steely beauty.

Holiday Rental Special for February and March 2011

Woodgate Beach First National Real Estate have put together a fantastic offer for February and March:

Catch the end of summer at the beach and get 7 nights for the price of 4!

Given the absolutely awful time Queensland has had over the last month or so (with floods and cyclones) we need to kickstart people into coming to visit Woodgate Beach, which hasn't been hit by the floods or cyclone so is still quite pristine!

If you think you might be interested, give them a call on 07 4126 8000 or go to the website at www.wbre.com.au. And of course, we'd love you to stay at our house :)

A sign of holiday time

During the first week of our stay this time, it co-incided with the Queensland school holidays. This 'look' - the railings decorated by brightly coloured beach towels, cozzies (1) and rashies (2) was a common sight then!


1) Cozzies - Aussie slang for "swimming costumes
2) Rashies - slang for 'rash vests' used for surfing or just sun protection!
