This was only one of many scenic moments on our tour of historic Shorncliffe. Our hares began by taking us around the layered rocks of the headland around to Sandgate. The route provided lovely views - nautical, meteorological, geological and botanical - that is, lovely views of sea, sky, rocks, trees and flowers. From here we turned inland past some of the historical residences of the area, and then into some of the reclaimed wetland parkland behind the headland. The homeward section of the trail took us past the jetties where trawlers tie up, and past some very expensive toys at the cruising yacht club. All in all, it was a great Sunday afternoon excursion to the seaside.
Here's the view looking across towards the Port of Brisbane:
And here are the first returnees blocking that view - the stragglers were yet to make it back, and Mile High is just firing up the BBQ for some gourmet sizzled sausages, served with a huge range of accompaniments - ratatouille, kraut, salad, and multiple sauces included. Thanks to our hares!
We bade farewell to Topless - off to Germany again - and welcomed a visitor from Vietnam.
