We walked along the beach and back again. By then the sun was very low on the horizon, casting a golden glow over everything it touched. The end of another lovely day, and the end of this theme.

There was a little breeze that afternoon, and the parasailers took advantage of it. However with the low tide, the sailer was reduced to walking on the sand bars.

There were lengthy shadows galore on the beach that afternoon. This is mine.

Walking along Umina Beach, you’re guaranteed an encounter with at least one fisher-person along the way. This is because it sits at the entrance of Brisbane Waters, and gets lots of marine life coming its way. There were a few lines being cast on this particular afternoon, so walking the beagle proved to be a bit of a challenge – she loves sniffing out and stealing bait!

We’re back at Umina Beach on a much clearer afternoon to our last visit. Hardly a cloud in the sky, and apart from the usual dog walkers and fisher-people, there were also plenty of swimmers and paddlers on this glorious afternoon.
