It wasn't until later I saw the couple closest to the camera, where her cell phone takes priority over the boyfriend!

Lots of flotsam ends up on these beaches, washed by the East Australian Current. Fortunately, so much of Indonesia's garbage which washes ashore in the far north doesn't make it here. Nor does the enormous volumes of plastic which plague so much more of the world's oceans. The waters here are relatively clean, even if I choose not to gorge on the oysters as I did half a century ago.
There are dead whales now, and for that we should be grateful. When there weren't dead whales it was because their population was perilously low.
Our phylogenetic cousins from the Cambrian still stick themselves to rocks and occasionally, being unstuck, come to grief. Further up the evolutionary tree, sometimes there are bits and pieces of humanity, like the feet of a criminal suspect who apparently put them in the ocean of their own volition.
Free swimming sea life turns up too. All that lives is born to die. They might cause momentary concern. But they should also trigger our sense of curiosity and wonder. Even the stranded stinging bluebottles deserve our interest and sympathies.
What might normally float by design isn't immune to design failures, sunk, or like the famous Pasha Bulker which decorated Nobby's Beach to the amusement of many Austral Novocastrians, aground. That harbour is also famous for the specialist diver working to illicitly retrieve blocks of cocaine from a ships hull, and instead floating up to the surface himself. Now it seems that trade is generating plenty of jetsam further north.
Occasional penguins from the Southern Ocean or New Zealand's Fiordland will land here. That's irregular. Little penguins are a resident breeding species as nearby as Montague Island. It's sad but true: penguins are not immortal. I fear that when Avian Influenza A — H5N1 — reaches these shores there'll be fewer of these already at risk treasures.
Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai, the largest modern volcanic explosion, has failed to replenish the current's larder of pumice. Nevertheless, the submarine eruptions of the Tonga-Kermadec Arc have a history of decorating these beaches. There'll be pumice about, even if it is buried up in the dunes.
What of this? The coconut is not resident. Is it a visitor, resting on the shore? Or is it marooned, left to weather in the sun never to arrive wherever it was that it was going?
The shingleback skink, Tiliqua rugosa asper, isn't the only reptile here in the Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve. But they're my favourite.

The perfect spot to get some sun and check out Sydney harbour on a hot summer's day - near Smedley's Point, Manly, NSW
The difference in colours depends on where these lizards are. In this one the small Western Bearded (or Dwarf) Dragon, Pogono minor minor, is sunning itself on the top of a small bush in the scrub and taking on the darker colours of its surroundings. This makes the markings on its body much more pronounced than another I saw in the same area on a log.

This lazy sunbaking penguin was happy to have its photo taken as it basked in the mid-morning sun on Haast Beach, on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island.
Looks best on black, large, so press "L" to see what I mean.
Comments, as always, appreciated, butplease no flashy award codes!

Located in the centre of town, Horseshoe Bay is the most popular beach with locals and visitors alike. Featuring grassy headlands to picnic on, a sandy beach to sunbake, a sheltered cove to swim in and a 180 degree view from the mountains to Trial Bay. Horseshoe Bay is home to an excellent right hand wave that’s the locals' choice when we have east coast lows.

Sunbaking in the warm morning light, even with their whole body and maybe half the brain sleeping, their eyes were constantly surveying the surrounding. Always watching.....
This wild duck was a male Mallard, easily identifiable by its gleaming green head, white neck ring, and brown chest.
Just acquired this Mamiya 645 210mm f/4 N medium format lens for my M645 1000S body. Coupled it with a Fotodiox Pro adapter to my Nikon D7000 to try out some digital captures, it is a pretty good tele. The quailty of the Mamiya lens is just super. A bit heavy due to its professional-grade all-metal contruction. Manual focus only. D7000 supports stop down metering, and that works really well.
9553, the down Long Island steel train, rumbles over the Flinders St. viaduct behind BL34 and A77. Litte attention was given to this train by those making the most of their lunch breaks in the sun, appart from the lady sunbaking on the right of frame almost passing a kidneystone in fright when she heard the loud horn blast!

...making the most of the sunshine, high up in a stringybark, after a few cool, overcast days... sunbaking, scratching, stretching... unusual to see a cuckoo around here at this time of year. It was my understanding that they head north for the cooler months, then flood back down in the early Spring... anyway, it was nice to see one going about its business
