Weekly Photo Challenge this week is HOME A great opportunity to show you the beautiful place I live in. The Goldcoast is a favourite tourist destination. It boasts sun, sea, sand and a terrific climate almost year round.
Today, a perfect Sunday, brought out the people in their thousands. We drove along the coast looking for a parking spot and a place for lunch. We marvelled at the colour of the ocean the crisp white surf rolling in, all ages enjoying this beautiful weather. But parking was non-existent, eventually we spotted a car pulling out, right in front of the Currumbin Surf club, a perfect place for lunch.
So in we went, camera in hand to show you some of our day in this place I call home. Some of the photos in this gallery are from previous photo trips a couple are of our garden and a couple I just like, so added them as well .
I hope you enjoy this slice of my home…

Maybe being retired I don’t have so many distractions, so can spend quality time in the garden, (that is when I am not on the computer.)..lol

Maybe you only think Surfers Paradise and the “glitter strip” when you think GC.. I don’t go to that area as it is always full of tourists, there are many more quiet places to discover…

I think you might be right….I hate that strip

Unfortunately the young set have taken it over and it mostly caters for that age with all the night clubs, knick-knack shops, Macdonald’s etc. Burleigh is more laid back and family orientated.

Thanks Cindy I feel for you and your cold weather, I make that conversion to be minus2 to 3… I could not live in that cold climate. We think it is cold when it drops below 10deg. No wonder the poor avocados are curling up their toes
