Dude, the tide is out, like way out

(3 July 2010)

Ahh, another beach for the tribe to attack with their shovels, spades and other sandcastle building gear – well not this time. This time round, it was a walk on the beach that went forever: not in the north-south sense, just the east-west sense. And this was Carmila Beach, some 70km south of Mackay.

You see, when the tide is out, it’s really out.

However, we did spot some little crabs that did a fine job of popping out of the sand from all directions like in those arcade games – they also frightened Soraya as she feared being nipped by one (or ten).

The place itself was stunning and provided a great subject as a photographic backdrop.
