I was on the Ferry from Redland Bay returning to Macleay Island when the sunset began. Because the ferry was crowded and I was squashed into a corner, I just watched the sky color and other passengers taking photos with their mobiles. Then suddenly the ferry stopped and everyone started looking to the side. ThereContinue reading “Sunset over the Sea”

Color of the Wash
Yesterday when returning on the ferry from Redland Bay back home to Macleay Island, I saw that the water which is usually pristine blue and aqua was now a muddy brown from the flood waters running to the Bay from the Logan River. The wash from the ferry was quite golden. Redland Bay will soonContinue reading “Color of the Wash”

You can travel to the Jetty by Taxi if you don’t have your own vehicle.

Sunset Over the Sea
From Woolli I drove back to Redland Bay in one drive trying to get the 4.45pm vehicle ferry back to Russell island.

I made it withContinue reading “Sunset Over the Sea”
