The ocean is perfectly flat and powder blue. It’s haircut day and a pleasant drive the few kilometres to Emu Park. My hairdresser is a bit of a character, born and bred in Yeppoon.
Afterward, I park the car by the wetlands and photograph the paperbark swamp. There are reflections in the water, gums, and paperbarks, bamboo, palms, and a little coot duck dives while a heron stalks.


The caravan park waterslide was removed today. New regulations mean that a full-time lifeguard would have had to be in attendance on a slide so high.

Lovely reflections and a shame about the waterslide

Health and Safety gone mad again! I despair when I see little ones on scooters and bikes wearing knee pads, elbow pads, and helmets.

I think we grew up in a ‘bring ‘‘em up tough era’.
