Peering at Moreton Bay
Shorncliffe Pier goes back a long way in time and several years ago, the old one was totally demolished and replaced by new, almost to the same design but in modern materials. It sits below one of the sea cliffs that are part of the suburban coastline in Brisbane's northern suburbs from Shorncliffe, Sandgate and through to Brighton. It juts out into Moreton Bay and is the starting point of the annual Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht race.
This shot shows it in October 2021, blocked off to the public and ready for the "Long Dinner", a posh event held in good weather I hope. I still haven't identified if it raises money for anything but I know you have to dress up in clothes that at my age, I am no longer likely to have in my wardrobe!
Moreton Island can be seen in the distance.
