Couple of shots from my front verandah.


Nice one Gav.

Back again 2moro.

Great range of photos Gav!

Good pics there Gav!

Good pics there Gav!

Thanks to Gav and others who are taking the time to post up the pics regularly. The popularity of windsurfing seems to be enjoying a resurgence this summer.

So who is missing the lovely carbon boom left at golden beach sunday? We were all admiring it leaning there for so long.

^Yep, Adrian.

I was thinking about swapping it for my alloy blue line.

That guy on the Simmer was working hard lol, busted with a beer in his hand.

FAN ON!! SURFS UP!! Boys n Girls! Whitewater rolling across Bribie into Pumicestone passage. Looks to be a few metres wide n maybe 50cm deep. Hightide still a few hours away. Lot of water n debris moving in the system.
Bribie being breached.

Northerly launch spot.

No beach n dunes are collapsing...

Could it be... a return to how it once was. I hope so

Will be interested to see if it breaks through completely

Look like it has.
Surf is thumping thru.

Further south is an even lower part of the island. Across from Powerboat club, in behind a small island. Havnt been able to check it out. Have seen that area breached before.

About time!

Not seen it breached before. Been praying for it every year tho

Back in the 80/90 there was a channel from the light tower straight out to the bar. So the waves rolled in through the channel. It was awesome. Launch at the light tower and hit wave after wave at full speed with dead flat water inbetween all the way out to the bar.

Eventually it silted up so we started speed sailing along the bank running north to south. Then it silted up further and trees grew and that killed the speed sailing.

If that break through forms properly it may present some great jumping opportunities on the inside in a se/ne wind.

Unless council fix it but from what i read they are going to let it go and focus strengthening the golden beach side

thx for the article. the best bit.

Mr Sultmann said Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service officers would assess the site as soon as it was safe to do so and encouraged people, including boaties, to stay away from the area. He said erosion of the area was a "natural occurrence".

"Unfortunately, northern Bribie Island is just one of those coastal areas that's going to keep eroding, but it's a natural process and we prefer to let these things occur naturally and not interfere," Mr Sultmann said.
