The world is turning……the autumn equinox is upon us – about 3.30am tomorrow – March 21st
Equal day & night – well almost 😊
The sun rose at 7.22am this morning and will set 7.33pm this evening
And if I hadn’t turned around in the supermarket I would’ve missed this 👇
It must be a recent addition because I’ve never seen it before
Similar – not quite the same as last week’s

Then just one year later – Sunday August 26th 2012
Near the old Cafe on Flagstaff Hill Bowen
Far North Queensland
More of the Whitsunday’s Recycling Scheme
Two different styles of the bench this time – the simple one above and this one with formed back and small table structure in front. Perfect place for your cool drink while taking in the view
Did you know
The energy saved by recycling one plastic drink bottle will power a computer for 25 minutes.

Ocean Views from well placed Benches 😊
In just a couple of weeks I’ll be able to take advantage of this view of Queen’s Beach in Bowen. Just a short walk from our accommodation – 4.5kms of sand stretching from the mouth of the River Don down to Cape Edgecumbe. The very same beach in my header. The one I’ll enjoy for several weeks 😎
Queens Beach – 28 July 2011
I first saw this plain and simple one a few years ago, I found it about an hour and a bit up the road from Bowen………right on the sandy beach at Monte’s Resort. A lovely place to lunch on a Sunday afternoon. They were hit hard by Cyclone Debbie and weren’t open last year……we’ll definitely be making the drive out there this year.
Montes Reef Resort – 25 August 2009
Drive a few hours down south west of Melbourne along The Great Ocean Road here in Victoria and you can see this one set on the shoreline near the lighthouse at Port Fairy – two of my ‘favourite things. right next door to each other.
