Famous beach walk. HFF
I could use this one both for Happy Fence Friday and Happy Bench Monday and given Monday is a busy day for me, I will split it! HFF and HBM in advance!
Locals in Brisbane who regularly use the now famous Nudgee Beach (!) for photography will recognise this as the boardwalk through the mangroves which draws a large circle around the wetlands that line the beach. One side follows this creek which seems to be unnamed (the next two north are Nundah and Cabbage Tree Creeks respectively). The boardwalk has some nice little benches to rest awhile and consider the importance of the mangroves to the environment and ecology of Moreton Bay, knowing that mangroves are one of the best carbon sinks in nature.
I have posted two related mangrove shots today, best to get them all done in one sitting!

The beach itself is actually along the track behind me, still a kilometre or so before you get to access it easily, but this also passes a bird hide and some great spots to see colourful crabs emerging from their holes in the mud along the way. The creek is used for school groups and others canoeing and ends in a wetland area below a major water transfer station.
