Nine Mile Beach – Byfield National Park

A Picnic on a Rainy Day

Yesterday we went for a nice picnic at a place just on the beach near Rosslyn Bay. I have written about this spot before in the article called My Top 5 Picnic Spots on the Capricorn Coast. However, it was a rainy day and as soon as we had finished eating, it started to rain! The decision was reached that the rain wasn’t going to stop anytime soon, so we packed up (quickly) and drove off.

While we were there I walked the 10 or 20 metres down to the beach and had a look around. One of the things that I noticed was that because of all the recent rain that Yeppoon has been receiving, the small creek that runs under the road and onto the beach was flooded and quite a long way from where it normally stops. I have attached a few pictures below of the creek, and if you look to the far left of the first picture you can see where it used to stop.

There is also a very crooked tap near the picnic table, and a picture of that is attached too. I also took a picture of a tree trunk there, and I decided that it was good enough to make it onto my photoblog.
