WOW!!! This is awesome VF. How high is this? You can see the sandbanks so clearly.:) A definite fave for me:)
Vicki Ferrari replied
322 metres, the link works now!!! Lots more info there! It is a massive building! The people on the beach look like ants! And you see (small) planes and choppers fly by, at the level that you are standing! It is amazing! Glad you like it Ralph! :)
JUSTART

Vicki Ferrari replied
Thanks Justart! See workable link now for details! Vicki :)
Phil Threlfall
Nice view. Yep a bit of sand has moved around lately – all part of the constantly shifting coastlines and weather patterns.
Vicki Ferrari replied
Thanks Phil, glad you like it! Vicki :)) Q1 is pretty amazing, aye?

NeilAlderney
I miss the Gold Coast! – Have been away form Oz now for over 4 years…
It is hard getting a good shot from the Q1.
Vicki Ferrari replied
Thanks Neil, it has become a very busy place! And yes, it was difficult to get a good shot from Q1 – this was the second go around! You have to pick the right time of day! Have you seen our Gold Coast Group ? You would probably love it, if you miss here!! :))
