The last February Sunrise on the Southern Moreton Bay Islands was spectacular. I took the 5.20 am Ferry from Russell island to Redland Bay Marina, taking photos as the colors deepened and changed with vivid intensity. When the sun is low on the horizon during sunrises and sunsets, the sunlight travels through more of the atmosphere. ShorterContinue reading “Sunrise Over the Sea”

Sunrise at Bribie Island
Every morning an amazing sunrise on the ocean Beach at Woorim on Bribie Island. Yet, every morning the beach is deserted and only I see the sunrise from the sands. https://sunrise.maplogs.com/woorim_qld_australia.423402.html

I booked into Dorrigo as that was the only campsite available for 2WD. The other campContinue reading “Rainbow Beach Queensland”

I booked into Kingfisher Caravan Park because I always stay there. I discovered the caravan Park was now run by the original owner’s sister and I missed the old faces. However, change was apparent. The grounds were beautifully maintained with colourful plants and the sites were carefully allocated in specific areas with cement blocks, andContinue reading “Tin Can Bay Queensland”
Sunrise at Russell Island
Every so often a sunrise appears that is stunning and memorable. This one started as a dark glow in the morning sky and grew into something spectacular because it was simply different.

The sun rises in the East, and the last month I have been seeing the sunrise as the sun has been rising more north. The sunset however is hidden behind the trees, soContinue reading “Sunset At Russell Island”

Another Island Sunrise
Russell Island has amazing sunrises. I stand on the back verandah, usually surrounded by birds waiting to be fed, watching the sunrise every morning, and each morning it is different. Sometimes just a red sky, sometimes clouds in different shapes and different colors too. Today the clouds are flat across the horizon and streaking therContinue reading “Another Island Sunrise”
