80 Mile Beach, Western Australia.

Eighty Mile Beach is a 220 klm stretch of white sand in Western Australia, located halfway between Broome and Port Hedland.  It is a popular spot for fishing and shell collecting, known for its spectacular sunsets and as a vital wetland for migratory birds and a nesting ground for flatback turtles.  Due to risk of jellyfish, sharks, and crocodiles, swimming is not recommended, although some visitors use the caravan park for a base to enjoy the surroundings..

We have stayed at 80 miles beach a few times and enjoyed it.  Walked along part of the beach, collected shells and watched the sunsets.  The area is rather isolated being rather hot in the winter when we travelled there each time with no humidity.

The photo of the Flatback Turtle (borrowed) and it spends 99.5% of its time in Australia.

Inside

These photos were sent to me by the eldest son whilst he and his wife were in Sydney this week.  They went to two concerts, Metallica and Opeth, not my type of music.  I've never been or seen inside the Sydney Opera House myself, so it was pleasing to receive these photos and share them.

Inside looks amazing and filling up with people in readiness for the concert to begin, the Opeth one.
