Guest Guest66881 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 For me early mornings and late afternoons are the best for beach walks here in WA, the sun at this precise moment is just stunning.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although a Yorkshire tourist did die sadly of complications just the other day in QLD due to jellyfish sting. He had a prevailing condition sadly. Swim within the flags if not confident and will be right as rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't even do a pee without a frog harassing you! Hardly crazy. Most seldom if ever see a snake. I've only seen one in the car park close to a beach in that sense. The tropics bring other issues but mostly risk adverse like I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to admit there's some crazy stuff over there lol so many creatures seem to be dangerous and then I read about these trees up north queensland that are really harmful so I won't be touching anything!

You can't even do a pee without a frog harassing you! We found an island with a lovely beach that you can only access by boat. We spent many a weekend camping there, wandering about in the dark collecting firewood etc, then i stumbled across this news article and have never been back since ! lol.. Shame really as it was a lovely spot but i would never be able to relax now.. http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/lifestyle/pets-and-wildlife/a-video-of-two-brown-snakes-locked-in-a-death-grip-has-signalled-the-start-of-breeding-season-and-sparked-warnings-to-beachgoers/story-fnk74alk-1227138291145 Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlight7 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 I've seen a lot of tigers- they don't go for you unless you tread on them and if you make a fair bit of noise they make themselves scarce. We had one living under our holiday house once and I used to be a bit nervous about going in the garden- made the kids wear shoes just in case.

fish.01 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm a picture B kind of guy. I find beach places nice to visit sometimes. I think I prefer many UK beaches over many Australian beaches because they have history and life around them. In Australia many of the beaches are surrounded by low density modern housing and those areas combined with empty beaches just don't gel with me. If they could plonk a beach a few km away I wouldn't object as it would be nice sometimes but I would be depressed if I had move to a suburban beach area. Some Sydney harbour/inner beaches are my favourite in Australia because of the stunning location set in a high density urban fabric with a sense of history and connectedness about them. The other sort of beaches I love are those you drive on like Fraser Island. I think if I had to live near a beach I would prefer to live in the heart of a regional city like Newcastle with the beach in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi69 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I personally love living near a beach....well a ten minute drive. There is for me something special about the sea and a beach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOL Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I love the beach! Went surfing 3 days a week, strolling along the beach another 1 or 2 times. I wouldn't pay the price to live "on" the beach. I don't mind driving in my car for 10 minutes. But certainly not longer than 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 I find the rust so annoying. We have a place at the beach and the BBQ went rusty within 6 months, even though it was under the eaves and had a plastic cover on. Also the windows down there are permanently covered with salt spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
