High Tides Low Tides
There has been a lot of energy about this weekend. A full moon and extreme tidal movements have given us some very beautiful views of the foreshore.
The beautiful tricoloured claystone cliffs at Nightcliff beach
Beach Hibiscus (Flourishing in the humid air)
Although the coming of the wet season can be uncomfortable it is a great time to be outdoors, especially by the sea. Some times the sea breeze is the only thing that can offer any relief from the build-up conditions, until the rains come.
The overhanging cliff in this photo appears to be several meters high. However it is an optical illusion. The man fishing in the photo is actualy quite some distance away from the overhang, he is not standing on top of it. When I saw this photo I was supprized by how dramatic it appeared. If you look at the waves below they appear to be quite large but they are actualy only about knee high.
At about midday on Sunday the tide had receded all the way to Dariba Nungalinya (Old Man Rock) but by the evening it was lapping at the cliffs in Dripstone park
