Esplanade promenade

Brighton, Queensland is very similar to its namesake in Sussex - if you ignore the absence of:
- waves crashing into a pebbled beach;
- the Prince Regent's Pavillion;
- Georgian houses along the front;
- the Grand Hotel; 
- the Palace Pier (and its Amusements);
- whelk and jellied eel stalls;
- sticks of peppermint rock;
- chalk cliffs; and so on....
If you ignore these things, then you could be in either place as you stride out in a stiffish breeze along the esplanade - and it's a very pleasant experience on a sunny Sunday afternoon. For once, the headwind we encountered travelling south did not swing round to become a headwind as we travelled north.

We returned to Brighton Park for a waterside feast featuring casseroles, brownies and the usual liquid refreshments. Many thanks, hares!

Walkers' turnaround, with some innovative markings:



New shoes?


Yes - new shoes!


Meanwhile, elsewhere in the world, Le W*nk and Hardcore met up for a date at the St. Lucia Twilight Run:


And, further up the coast, another group of hashers enjoyed the twilight in less strenuous way:


Hope they weren't planning to live off their catch:
