18 August, 2010. We arrived in Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast having travelled about 5,000 kms from Broome.... The caravan park is tucked away between the towers.....
Playground and Park in front of Burleigh Beach Caravan Park.......
Entrance to Caravan Park...............
Our spot - site 85.........
Towards evening hundreds of Rainbow Loriceets fly into Trees of the Caravan Park, I shot these Pictures through the Rooftop Vent of the Caravan.
First Class Amenities..............
That's looking from the Park towards the Beach.............
Looking south...........
The next two photographs are from Wolfgang's trip last year - they show the comparison of a similar shot and one taken when the dust storms from outback Queensland obliterated the scene........

Currumbin Beach looking towards Coolangatta......
looking from Coolangatta towards Surfers.........
Bush Turkey at the Lookout.....
Looking down onto Rainbow Beach this spot is good for Whale watching......
Paradise in Trouble
The following Pictures show how a recent Storm which badly eroded the Beaches on the Gold Coast.... 
Southend of Burleigh Beach, a 2 meter drop only a few meters away from the Foodpath
Three days after the Storm most Beaches are still closed and the damage is substantial
the following Pictures are taken from Broadbeach..........
This is looking at Burleigh Beach from the Lookout at the Surfers end and it is not
looking too bad most of the damage was done the other end were the Towers are.....
That's looking towards Surfers were the Beach has virtually disappeared ,enlarge this Picture
and you will see the erosion's on the Dunes....
The Beach at Surfers is devastated...
In the Background you can see Council Officials checking out the Damage..
Repair work is already underway....
A bit over a week after the Storm hit the Gold Coast, everything is back to normal and as good as Gold
even the Sea got its sparkling blue color back, maybe that's why the call it the Gold Coast.....
