My preference is for deserted beaches, far away from the crowds.. but this is perhaps a more 'urban' image of beachlife in Australia. I noticed that the afternoon light looked unusual, with the background sea and cityscape darkened by clouds. So I climbed to the top of
Elephant Rock, and then took several shots back towards Currumbin Rocks with Surfer's Paradise in the distant background. This one had the most interesting activities and 'poses' from the unwitting participants!
