Sunrise Sands

In high tide, the sands are often a small sliver that is well used and churned up from previous days feet. But the sands come into their own when the tide is low and receeding.

Wet and shining the sand takes on the hue of the sky like this marvellous blue and pink image. Mother nature is such an artist! In the early light the drier sand takes on a perwinkle blue - purple hue. As the sun gets higher the white-beige sand of a normal day appears.

The beach and holiday skies

Although its been a few months since we were there, I hear that Woodgate is looking quite lush with recent rains and the kangaroos must be thrilled with all the green lawn grass to nibble!

The beach is beautiful though regardless of if has been wet or dry and it goes for miles in either direction from our little entrance ...

To the south:


Notice how the beach is almost empty (albeit at an early hour). Only one other walker can be seen in the distance to the south. I'm looking forward to our next visit so that I can walk it again and enjoy the fresh early morning breezes and hear the gentle waves lap the beach.

Footprints in the sand

I really enjoyed going for walks along the beach early in the morning. A few others did too....
