Caloundra, Queensland

Sometimes you have to get away from it all.
Ray had a day out playing golf as a visitor at Pelican Waters golf resort.
This is the club of the 'Great White Shark' Greg Norman. 

I used to live and work at Caloundra, so Ray asked if I'd like to visit my old haunts while he played..
I only lived a ten minute walk from Dickie Beach, where dogs are allowed to frolic on the sand.

A mother prepares her children with wet suits for surfing. 
It's school holidays and mid winter but the day is too perfect to miss some fun.
The Pandansas Tree.
A sign informs  of rules which need to be observed.  Surf between the flags for safety.

 Most of our beaches have shark nets to ward off attack. 
Not all beaches allow dogs as apparently their smell is suppose to entice sharks. 
If a school of dolphins are present, you know your safe.. 

Another sign... Can dogs read I wonder?? 
My dogs think they are people. 
Well its a good place to lift your leg. 

Everyone is busy doing their own thing. Walking, fishing and surfing.
 

 It was nice to be back. I have many memories of here. Some good some sad..
It is a beautiful place to live.
Every night I fell asleep with the sound of waves crashing on the sand.
Every morning I wasn't working, I was walking and running along the shore.
For some reason, the pelicans don't visit here??

It was a beautiful day.
But I was glad to drive back home at the end of it..
OH, and Ray came second in A Division.
