Hard to get good pics in the light at the time, but cool to see a #mantaray just off the beach at #minjerribah #stradbrokeisland today!
The grey clouds lingering around didn’t put me off kayaking & swimming today. Clouds don’t always mean it’s going to rain & the water bayside was the calmest it’s been for a week. Good for kayaking around #Minjerribah!

The 1st day of 2026 started for me with an ocean swim & a play in the water with the early high tide. Happy New Year everyone!!

Shady sand path to a secluded beach. Green foliage both sides. Daytime, sunny sky visible.
Surf beach. Rocky gorge in foreground. Blue sky, low fleece clouds.
I'm really happy about living in a part of the world where I can day trip to a natural environment teeming with wildlife.
Island time. Nothing like it.

Love seeing the swamp banksias on Minjerribah. They remind me of those I love, cherish, & miss, good times, places, simple pleasures & joy. #Dunwich, North #StradbrokeIsland - #Goompi #Minjerribah #Quandamooka #Queensland #Australia
Lucky enough to see this today on the driveway of where I am staying at the moment. #minjerribah #straddie #northstradbrokeisland #koala

It’s not every night that you get dolphins with a couple of metres! #dolphins #minjerribah #amitypoint
A koala seated sideways on a fork in a tree, with left limbs wrapped around tree
A tall eucalyptus tree from base to canopy with arrow showing where this koala was sitting, location is graveyard on Stradbroke island
If you’re wondering why koalas look so tired - or why #koala spotting is hard - I tried to capture an example of how high they climb trees (see arrow where this photogenic koala was resting on the weekend) #Minjerribah #StradbrokeIsland #KoalaConservation #eucalyptus

A not so secretive nor camouflaged bush stone-curlew vying for my picnic spot: birds definitely have personalities! #Minjerribah #StradbrokeIsland
Another great day!

Great day with family at the beach surf side! #Minjerribah #Quandamooka #Qld #Australia
Just because they remind me of so many people… family, friends, followers... 😘🤗😀 #Swampbanksia, North #StradbrokeIsland - #Minjerribah #Quandamooka #Queensland #Australia
The beach late this afternoon / early evening. #Minjerribah #Quandamooka #Qld #Australia
It’s always worth checking out a #MoretonBay Fig Tree. They’re all different, and all similar too. This one’s in #Dunwich (opposite the bakery & chemist shop), #Minjerribah, #Quandamooka.
