| Mooloolaba Beach |
With two recent shark attacks in the news here in Australia ( one in Western Australia, one in Queensland) you wont find me frolicking in the surf! I’d read the warnings about the dangers of Australian waters before we even landed, but now I’m certain I wont be swimming! Besides, the water here is rather murky…warm, but murky, at least where we are on the Sunshine Coast near Moreton Bay, you can’t see what’s "down under"!
…And since we’ve just come from some pretty awesome clear snorkeling waters in Tonga and other South Pacific islands, it’s hard to jump into these murky waters! The green color is pretty, but shallow.

| Daily surf report is kind of nice. |
We notice the Australians are very protective of their people and there are all kinds of warnings, cautions, "dos & don't' posted at all public beaches, parks and instructions posted on the highways on how to drive safely. Even the speed limits are lighted with cameras to take pictures of speedsters!

| Largest winery outside of Brisbane |
Then the next day, we invited our friend Mark (Compass Rosey) to visit us for Thanksgiving. The weather turned lousy and rained but we drove south of Brisbane, anyway, to Mt. Cotton, visiting the Daisy Hill Koala Center and Sirromet winery…
in the pouring rain!…ah, the joys of the weather in a tropical rain forest climate!
