Over 70s National Championships - Sunshine Coast - Mooloolaba (2)

On the Sunday morning - another rest day - I got up early and went for a walk along the beach towards Point Cartwright.

As I walked along the beach I noticed a surprise visitor - a P&O cruise ship was anchored off shore.

Apparently the decision was made not to land passengers as the sea was too rough! So it stayed for a while and then sailed off.

Two groups of life savers launched their boats for a practice session.

I was not the only person going for an early morning walk.

The tide was going out leaving jelly fish, seaweed and shells along the beach.

I then wandered beside the Mooloolah River for a time.

Boats moored in the river.

Looking towards the marina.

Back on the beach it was Mooloolaba's turn for a junior surf carnival.

Fundraising for the Mooloolaba Nippers - sausage sizzle for breakfast.

Back at the apartment - view of the activity on the beach.

Monday morning, before cricket, I went for a walk near the marina around the corner from the apartment.

While there I met a local going for a stroll.

On the Tuesday morning I woke early and took photos of the sunrise from the balcony of our apartment.

There are many views in Mooloolaba.
