The theme of this Shindig was the letter "S"
I wish I was in that right now!!
Just on the other side of that point is Sydney, 3 million people, you can't see it in the photo but it's big and scary!
This was Scotts head, my favorite place to surf so far, no one was there, it was a point break at about 4-6 feet and I could position myself in the same spot everytime and just wait for the sets of 3-5 swells to roll in. This is my board "Lucy" a 7'5" long 19 1/4' wide made in New Castle by John Scolley, a family man...
This is Byron Bay, imagine Bend or Ashland, OR, and replace the mountains and rivers with an epic point break and 40 mile long beach break. lot's of organic farmers and hippy style people with the soul of surfers running through the whole town. It was epic and I think that I fell in love.... I got beat up trying to get out past the breakers, and beat up tryin to catch the waves that were pretty difficult to read, but the ones that I caught and took in were unreal. the smallest was around three feet and the biggest were about 8-9 feet that day...
this creek is red because of minerals for decomposing vegitation apparently.
testing out the waterproofness...
this is a dune lake in the GSNP its color was like tea because of minerals from fallin vegitation.
we took more of hike and found some amazing plant life... this vine around the tree was called the strangler vine.
an Australian wild turkey also called a 'forest farmer'
this is a gigantic sand blow created by the wind and had the softest finest sand I have ever seen! We were at Rainbow beach tryin to get to Fraser Island but it didn't work out because of time frame, it's a big island, so we hung around Rainbow Beach area checking out areas of the Great Sandy National Park. All these photos are from the GSNP...
7am on Bribie Island. The island off in the distance is a National Park, I can't remember the name of the island. there are no roads on it and the only people are park rangers.
click on the photo and try and zoom in on the second breaking wave, there's a little shredder comin in on the wave.
"Take me home Gary I'm done!"
