At the moment Mackay is having flouds. Australia is such a diverse country, one end of it has floods, the other end bush fires.
The beach below is just around the corner from Black Beach as you can see the tide was out.
The boat looks worse for wear, but I guess someone loves it.
Beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteWas rather nice there
DeleteCertainly looks like a beautiful place to spend a few days!
ReplyDeleteWas good to travel the streets to find out what was there other than houses.
DeleteI do like your photographs, especially the sky in your first photograph.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a good place to spend a few days.
All the best Jan
Each night I would look out the window of the caravan to see what the sunset was like :)
DeleteOh such nice photos of a lovely place
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo-Anne.
DeleteMe gusta especialmente las tonalidades de la primera foto. Es un hermoso atardecer.
ReplyDeleteBesos

DeleteA whole new take on high and dry.

Divagar Sobre Tudo um Pouco
Thanks Maria.
DeleteWould loveto know how the hell that cruiser got there. Maybe smashed up in a cyclone
ReplyDeleteand is too damaged to put back into the water???
My God those floods up there in the north..........thank God we have been spared the sight of all those cattle drowned out west........300,000 dead.
The attitude of the cattle people is astonishing and typically Aussie..... they
de-stock to save fodder from the drought and now that area is like an inland brown ocean! Resilience above the ordinary, eh?
Cheers
Colin
Amazing people are the outback people. Saw photos of the devastation of cattle around Cloncurry in Queensland, always cops the floods there, so very flat like so many other places in Australia..
DeleteThe cruiser was moored so I presume the high tide comes up to it.
Are the trees in the last photo eucalyptus?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they would be Rosemary.
DeletePoor old boat but I like the palm trees.
ReplyDeleteAmazing to see palm trees amid our natives.
DeleteThe boat was moored so expect the tide come right up to it and beyond.
We'll be up there later this year. The photos are beautiful and I look forward to our visit there.
ReplyDeleteRosie I'm sure Townsville will rather poorly when you visit as it takes a long time to recover from such devastation..
DeleteThe boat looks high and dry, waiting for a flash flood to set her afloat. Love the trees in the final photo.
ReplyDeleteWaiting for the high tide..there was one boat near there that men were working on.
DeleteLovely trees those are..
Margaret I am really impressed with the sunset. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andy, it's not often I'm near the sunset when travelling - even though the sunsets not always in a position to see it.
Delete- love that first sky
ReplyDelete- funny place to park a boat
The water comes up to the boat! Tide comes in that far.
DeleteThe poor boat, swung up was no water, I hope its just a not too work. Beautiful skies in the number one.
ReplyDeleteIt's a strange city, Mackay....it's set in a beautiful area...the Coral Sea and Whitsundays...."just there" at its fingertips...the Pioneer Valley and Eungella...but, there's something about it that rankles...and I don't know what it is....
ReplyDeleteStunning sunset view dear Margaret!!!!!!
ReplyDeletei can feel the serenity and beauty you must have enjoyed there !
i felt for this boat !
either my homeland is quite diverse in it's weather conditions but thank God no forest fire here until now i guess
