potts point
Potts Point is located on the northern tip of Macleay Island. It has a netted swimming enclosure and a privately built and owned jetty that anyone may use, but at their own risk warns an attached sign. After a quickly abandoned attempt at walking along it I realised the need for the warning sign. Yikes! Very scary. Oh and by the way, these photos are all available in this section of my Etsy shop.
And on a completely unrelated note, on this very day way back in the year 1940, Bugs Bunny made his debut in "A Wild Hare" [You can view it here. Good stuff!]

chillin' on karra
One of the four Southern Moreton Bay Islands is the tiny 2.5 km by 0.5 km Karragarra Island. With a population of around 124 people (according to T.Barclay Real Estate), some beautiful beach areas with protected swimming enclosures, free electric BBQs and picnic tables on the beach makes the island a lovely spot for a quiet getaway. And by quiet I mean really really really quiet. 'Karra' as it is affectionately known has no shops whatsoever. The peace & tranquility is bliss!
This area at the jetty is pretty and well maintained making it a pleasant space to sit & relax while waiting for the ferry to arrive. And the ferries run very regularly.
The public toilets next to the park area along the esplande. Why am I posting a photo of the public toilets you may well ask? Well, I was impressed by the accessibility of these toilets for people with mobility issues. That's quite progressive for an island with such a tiny population and relatively limited tourism. This is more progressive than many of the more populated areas of Queensland! Which is an unfortunate reality in this day and age, but there you have it. On a positive note, things are improving. Slowly. I seriously do not have an odd obsession with public toilets. Really and truly I don't. I work in the disability field so accessibility is something I always tend to notice. That's all.

Here's my Shadow Shot(s) Sunday #113
Shadows were screaming out at me along the river walk at Kangaroo Point. The day was absolutely gorgeous with temperatures nothing like mid-winter temps at all. Very spring-like in fact. That was during the week. Things have changed back to being quite cold again. Only in the wee hours of the morning at least. Phew!

Three little curled up dried leaves. They almost look like praying monks. Kind of?
