Mooloolaba Xmas Boat Parade 2012

I was lucky to land event photographer for the Mooloolaba Boat Parade this year. I remember going along the previous year to find not a lot of boats on the water, severe storms and then reading about how a boat actually got struck by lightning! Turns out that was the boat they put me on board, this past Saturday night. We didn't get struck by lightning but all the Christmas lights decided to go out ten minutes into the parade due to a faulty generator. Luckily the owner, skipper and peeps on board were all delightful and in the end it really didn't matter that we weren't as pretty as the rest. It also made for some witty banter being thrown over board to the other boats and the houses we passed by. Lets just say the Eco, power saver, was a big theme. Thanks 'Synergy' for having me on board and thanks to everyone for being so welcoming and absolutely delightful! If you missed out going this year book it in your calendars for next!

Day 8 - Lake Leake, Blow Hole and Eddystone Lighthouse

 The plan for the day was to see a man made lake (don't bother!) a blow hole (only if you have time to kill) and the bay of fires! Now I got my research badly muddled here, I thought the bay of fires was severely north east, let's just say we drove a long way to a lighthouse and not much else. Not too bag out Eddystone light house but if you want to see the bay of fires, a stroll around Bicheno where the blow hole is located is good enough! The bay of fires, famous for the lichen on the rocks which gives them their orange colour is pretty cool but once you have seen one rock you have seen them all :p Learn from my mistake!

Earlier on the day we stopped in at East Coast Nature World, I have lots of pics from the animal park so I'm going to pop them into a separate entry :)

Nambour at Night

Did you know Nambour is actually quite pretty at night? The main street recently under went a make over, so it's fun to stroll through at night. I can't believe this post comes completely unsponsored, damn pay me already to be Nambour's spokeswoman!! Lol
