Sunshine BEACH in NOOSA, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA on a rather gloomy day.

Morning steemers,
Over the recent long weekend that I don't even know the name of here in Queensland, Australia I decided to head north from Brisbane in search of sunshine and water. I checked the weather reports for the "north coast" area and a place called Noosa. The weather report said sunny so I jumped in the ute and headed north to a place called Sunshine Beach.........What could possibly go wrong with a name like that???

So much for the sunshine, but at least the beach part was there!
You can see the rocks I walked to in the distance....

Ok, so there was very little sunshine to be seen and a slight drizzle of rain was present.......But I had driven for two hours and was keen to explore so I thought "fuck it, why not" and decided to walk the beach anyway. Down the stairs I went.....

A short walk down some wooden stairs and your feet are in the sand rather quickly :-)

The view directly at the bottom of the stairs was pretty nice, even with the weather.

As I got to the bottom of the stairs I looked right and left to decide which direction to head in. The left had some interesting rock structures in the distance, so that's the way I headed. As amazing as this beach would be on a hot sunny day the drizzling rain was actually quite nice, doesn't make for the best photos but at least you can see the potential this beach would have on a "nice" day.

As I walked along the beach towards the rocks I found this guy getting some shelter in a coconut, I wonder if he had caught the coconut from another island or just found it on the beach and crawled inside......

After a roughly 20min walk I was at the rocks, and I couldn't resist going for a bit of a climb to check out the other side.

A view from a Pandanus tree.

The view from at the top was quite nice but I had to explore further to the left of this shot.

The climb was a rather easy one depending on which route you chose but the slippery wet rocks definitely made it a bit more interesting, I only slipped a couple of times but it sure got the heart racing.

The other side supplied a roaring sea and was a great spot to just sit and chill for a bit.

Well, this shot makes it look like calm waters but I can assure you she was roaring!

I sat at this spot for quite sometime just enjoy the light rain and the salty ocean spray. Even if the weather is in bad shape I highly recommend a visit to this beach, its a great spot!

One last shot of the water from the "coffee rock" and I continued on my adventures......

Stay tuned for the rest of this "North Coast" adventure with some spots I visited on the way back to Brisbane.
