The day comes to a closure with one last encore performance from mother nature over this special place – The Mouth of the Powlett River. see more photographic works from this beautiful coast / NO DESAL on the Bass Coast This scene is within 500m of the proposed location for the state Labor government’s desalination plant to supply Melbourne with more water…At what environmental cost? the local land and marine environments… plus the enormously ineffective energy consumption to fuel the process, added marine salinity to our beloved coast which sees Southern Right Whales migrate, penguins,seals,sharks and all their friends and foes… / There is yet to even have been an envirnmental effects statement done – demand one tomorrow (Wed 31st Oct) @ noon on parliament steps in Melbourne ! more info and pledge your support @ http://www.yourwateryoursay.org/
A once it a lifetime image. This hasn’t been altered or photoshopped in any way. Even in the plant world you can find love. A lonely mangrove hoping to attract another lonely mangrove. Taken at Weyba Creek, Sunshine Coast.
Powlett River is the spot our illustrous government has told us we will build the southern hemispheres largest desalination plant. There has been no consultation or environmental impact studies just an announcement of what will happen. Needless to say this move to convert a wilderness and pastoral area into a pollution guzzling industrial estate is not being well recieved. To run this $3,200,000,000 plant an additional 1,200,000,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases will be released into the atmosphere each year plus it will pollute the local marine environment at a rate of 7,000litres a second which will obviously alter and possibly (some say definitely) destroy the local marine environment. This will in turn force the Philip Island Seal and Fairy Penguin (Parade) population to look for better feeding grounds risking the $75,000,000 a year that tourists spend visiting these natural attractions. On top of that the site for the plant as you can see is absolutely gorgeous (it’s 200m from where I took this photo). To find out more visit your water your say 100% of profits from this image will go to the, your water your say action group fighting fund (I’ve put the margin up more than usual as the donation thing is kind of pointless unless there’s a bit of money in it). For other shots from this area check out my Bass Coast gallery.
I took this photo on 07/13/06 on a vacation with my husband; we began in Redding, CA went over to the Northern CA coast and headed north…. went clear up to Tillamook, Oregon. We followed the shoreline all the way, on this wonderfully scenic trip. This is just one of many images which I am pleased to be able to share; I hope you enjoy….. / / / ___ / All The Materials Contained May Not Be Reproduced, Copied, Edited, Published, Transmitted Or Uploaded In Any Way Without My Permission.

Nerang River, Gold Coast
Managed to get out for a few minutes for sunset with the dogs, river would have been like glass except for the aqua duck. Nerang river looking south over Paradise Waters towards Surfers
I used to go with my mother at Point-au-Père along the St-Lawrence river just for evening and night before reaching Grand-Anse,New-Brunswich, the village where she grew up.I had long walks on those rocs when I was very young,when I saw the little church it all came back to me.I saw myself with my little sister Maryse and my brother Peter picking up rocs and shells and the sun was going down,I was 14 years old…souvenir …souvenir…..an untouched shot. / Better view larger. / Two world challenge:personnal and history / /

Surfers Paradise as seen from the council chambers(the fish were biting) looking across the Nerang River, Gold Coast
The wind had started to pick up and this was one of my last shots before tripod was blown over and had to seek shelter from the rain. Looking towards Cheveron Island 20/11/08 View more of my storm images / / Storms
My watercolour painting from a 1906 photo of the Mauretania. Luxury liner (the fastest in the world until 1929). She’s being towed by steam tugs, out of the mouth of the river Tyne, and into the North Sea. Watercolour and gouache, 12” 8” / Poundworld 90lb watecolour paper /
The fish have been biting well on this stretch of the Nerang River and I like the way the clouds show in the reflections on the water. View of Surfers Paradise from the council chambers at Evendale.(29/11/08)
managed to just squeeze this in before it started to bucket down- the winds went gale force. Normally I shoot from the other side of the broadwater but the storm split and ended up behind me. The Broadwater overlooking Sundale Bridge/Southport, Gold Coast (03/12/08) / Got some more from the other side but the buildings were in the way a bit(was heading to the beach before the downpour) View more of my storm images / / Storms
Taken last year on the 29/12/08, not many storms this year(only 1 really) . / Not sure on this one due to the amount of white surrounding the bolt, too much? Send to the scrap heap and wait for the next one? Looking across the Southport Broadwater towards the hi-rises of Main Beach. / 30seconds f5.6. Lens 18mm View more of my storm images / / Storms
Beginning in January 1881, the Mary D. Hume hauled goods between the Rogue River (Gold Beach, Oregon) and San Francisco for ten years. She then started her service as an arctic whaling ship. She was run aground countless times and even sank in Alaskan waters in the ice of Nushagak River and was raised and repaired in Seattle in 1904. She also recorded the longest whaling voyage of six and a half years! The Mary D Hume was named after the wife of the original owner after he purchased the boat in 1881. The Mary D Hume is also credited with the largest catch of baleen whale in history, valued at $400,000, after a 29 month voyage! In 1978, after the longest Pacific coastal service of any boat, The Mary D Hume motored back between the jetties in Gold Beach and was given to the Curry County Historical Society. Crowds lined the banks of the river and cheered as she came in, and she was entered on the National Register of Historical places. This historic vessel is not being preserved in its final resting place along the banks of the Rogue River in Gold Beach. Everything seemed to go wrong after the Mary D Hume was turned over to the Historic Society. It took seven years to rig a sling. When they tried to lift her out for repairs the sling broke. Then the slings structure failed and the boat fell and sank in four feet of water. And there she still remains, being rapidly destroyed by the harsh coastal weather, the swift ocean tides, and the destructive currents of the large river.

Over looking the Nerang River towards Surfers Paradise with a nearly full moon rising. This little spot has been providing me with plenty of Bream and Flatty’s the last few days and is not a bad place to watch the world go by from this sandy stretch of beach.
Well I did change my spot to bring sunset over the Nerang River and the Hi-Rises of Surfers Paradise. Taken from behind the Council Chambers at Evandale, great spot for a bbq and wet a line or bring the kids to swim in the lagoon. / Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast.
Two yachts race up the mouth of the Hunter River into Newcastle Harbour, New South Wales. The image was captured with a 6 MP Sony Cyber-Shot and then processed in Paint Shop Pro. I duplicated the original layer and applied a number of filters to it to make it resemble an impressionist painting. I then tweaked the tones to highlight certain parts of the scene.
Returned to this spot for a quick fish approaching sunset. With the cooler days of winter here the bream are starting to show up in large numbers. It’s not a bad view looking across the Nerang River towards the Hi-Rises of Surfers Paradise
THIS WAS TAKEN AT THE CURRUMBIN BRIDGE ON THE GOLD COAST. THERE WAS ALOT OF HEAVY YELLOW LIGHT ON THE ROCKS FROM THE BRIDGE, SO I THOUGHT ID OVEREXPOSE THE SHOT TO TRY EXCENTUATE THE ALIEN-NESS OF THE ROCKS /
