Burleigh Beach

Oil Painting of Burleigh Beach on the Gold Coast Queensland. One pic for Sea Change and Passions and Something to say. boy do I ever! you too can run away!

In 1966 we including two small children,packed some clothes into a suitcase, put the dog into a cardboard dog box ,walked out of our freezing cold house in Victoria,leaving furniture most clothes house and car behind, caught the 7.pm train to Queensland,bound for our sea change life. the pic here is the reason, no regrets. Beautiful one day mostly wonderful the next.
Naturally I am so passionate about living in the best place in the world.
