The former "secret spot". This was one of many along the Sunshine Coast in the 1970s, due to poor roads/bridges and lack of development. I managed to catch a few excellent rides here last winter with a mate. There was even a whale spotted. The other side of the road is a National Park with signs at regular intervals warning of "Unexploded Shells" - a former artillery range during one of the numerous wars last century. This is possibly the oldest surf type photo I own, taken around 1975 when I got my first camera. My brother's Ford. Our single fin "shortboards" of 6' 10" (my longboard today turns better!). Carefree searches. I feel for the folks up North who have lost not only homes and livelihoods but precious memories as well
