So after a hot day tramping around Australia Zoo, what better than to take a side trip out to Bribie for a meal overlooking Pumicestone Passage. Good food, good company, and a beautiful scene to help rest the eyes….well ok, the food was pretty crappy…
This was so inviting we just had to roll up our daks and wade out with our tripods :)

    Thanks so much everyone. Bill, I wish I could say we ate at a restaurant overlooking this view, but in fact we had chips and battered savs at a cafe, just up the road, the view was a jetty, seagulls and pelicans (I’ll post a shot soonish) but this spot was our after dinner dessert :)

    Like the scale and the overall peaceful feel to it. With a view this great, does it matter what the food was like?
