Up in the morning, off to the airport, take off in low clouds through the cloud cover into sunshine not as cloudy out west, must be coastal cloud ? always looks nicer up here :-)
rays of light through the clouds hitting the mountains looks like we are about to fly into a storm yep. that's a storm down there About 30-40 mins later, we fly over the NSW/Qld border, and down there is pretty the same spot where I took the pictures about a week or so ago, from the best of all lookouts. the peak you see middle left, would be Mt. Warning Brisbane, with 7 Hills Bushland reserve in front cruise ship ? Did not realise they went up the brisbane river about 6-7 hours later, catching trains, taxis and going to the queensland motor registry, picking up a car and driving 500 kms south towards Sydney, I was just approaching Coffs Harbour and planning to have a quick surf at one of the beaches there, when I run into the storm I flew over earlier this morning Had such a lovely sunny drive for 498 Km or so, and now the sun is dissappearing, normally still would have a good 2-3 hours of sunlight, but that storm is putting an end to that the further south you look, the darker it gets
the road ahead, I just gave myself a birthday present and bought a new board in Qld. and was pretty keen to test it out, but that storm is not looking too good. I drove to the beach anyway, and just as I got there a few lightning bolts came down, but the surf was still tiny anyway. So on I drove.
