Massive turn out today at Currumbin Alley (Gold Coast) for Fight for the Bight National Day of Action. Thousands of people swarmed the beaches around Australia to take part in The Paddle Out. It was great to see so many people, especially groms getting involved. #fightforthebight _____________________________________________________ #surf #surflife #beach #beachy #beachyoga #writerslife #surfpics #waves #swell #positivegoals #positivequotes #liveyourlife #photography #surfing #ocean #iphonography #lovemylife #surfphotography #discoverqueensland #beachlife #beachlove #minimalism #goodvibesurfing #travel #saynotobigoil #saveourplanet #saveouroceans #saveourseas #oceanlife
Packed up our family at 5:30am and headed to Broadbeach where we were part of an early sandy Christmas activity. We unofficially broke a Guiness World Record for Most People Making Sand Angels simultaneously. There were over 1,600 people flapping their angel wings (beating the previous 1,387 record held by Michigan, USA). Over $21,000 was raised for Drought Angels. ‘Twas great fun! _____________________________________________________ #beach #beachy #writerslife #liveyourlife #photography #ocean #lovemylife #discoverqueensland #beachlife #beachlove #angel #sandangel #aussiechristmas #xmas #beachangel #whitesandychrissy #sandeverywheredontcare #guinessworldrecord #goodvibesurfing #travelQLD #familymemories #makinmemories
I can see why sand is used as a metaphor for time. Waves, shells, pebbles, footprints, strong winds — all things are recorded in the sand for a moment. This is our place, our time, our beach recording our impact. Our present history. #magicmonday _____________________________________________________ #surf #surflife #beach #beachy #beachyoga #writerslife #surfpics #maxjoy #waves #swell #positivegoals #positivequotes #liveyourlife #photography #surfing #ocean #iphonography #lovemylife #surfphotography #discoverqueensland #beachlife #beachlove #minimalism #goodvibesurfing #travelQLD #beachwalk #oceantherapy #mindfulness
We all had nervous energy before we took the stage ... it happens when you drop your facade, your shield, and share true stories that exposes your inner thoughts and vulnerable emotions. Thanks family and friends for supporting #storiesinthekeyofgc and thanks Fletch for the bold concept and beautiful Bern, our host. Storytellers: Tim Baker, Lystra Bisschop, Amy Mac and Sean Flanagan. _____________________________________________________ #stories #truestories #storytelling #gc #goldcoast #slampoetry #shortstories #hota #writer #author #nofear #fridaynightlights #flute #thebasement #soldoutshow #soldoutbutnotasellout #coldghost
I made red and yellow ochre, then painted this fabric and turned it into a skirt for Friday’s performance #storiesinthekeyofgc at HOTA. It’s a modern way I can wear ochre while I share my story. _____________________________________________________ #surfer #surflife #beach #writerslife #positivegoals #positivequotes #liveyourlife #photography #surfing #ocean #iphonography #lovemylife #discoverqueensland #beachlife #beachlove #minimalism #indigenous #travelQLD #art #ochre #firstnations #firstnationsart #storytelling #writer #hachetteaustralia #indigenouspeople
Getting out of the city on country for a week with artists, yarning, creating—best conference ever. Thank you Mununjali elders and mob for sharing your beautiful hearts and country. Met so many new people. Reconnected with friends and fam. Cried. Laughed. 30 degree days. 7 degree nights ... reminds me of the highs and lows of an artist’s life. Thanks @driessensjoanne for the photos with me in them. ____________________________________________________ #positivegoals #positivequotes #liveyourlife #photography #iphonography #lovemylife #discoverqueensland #minimalism #travelQLD #country #artsablazeqld #artist #mununjali #nointernet #glamping
Life is so fast-paced. Switch to S-L-O-W-M-O ... there’s beauty everywhere. #seamessage _____________________________________________________ #surf #surflife #beach #beachy #beachyoga #writerslife #surfpics #maxjoy #waves #swell #positivegoals #positivequotes #liveyourlife #photography #surfing #ocean #iphonography #lovemylife #surfphotography #discoverqueensland #beachlife #beachlove #minimalism #goodvibesurfing #travelQLD #beauty #shell
Had the whole beach to myself. Early rainy mornings will do that. Take three for the sea ... to set her free! Ironic our sea life are dying from plastic in the ocean, when I walked past dead birds, dead fish and these plastic ones too. I walk this beach every day. Today, there was so much rubbish left on the beach, not the best thing about school holidays. _____________________________________________________ #surf #surflife #beach #beachy #beachyoga #writerslife #surfpics #maxjoy #waves #swell #positivegoals #positivequotes #liveyourlife #photography #surfing #ocean #iphonography #lovemylife #surfphotography #discoverqueensland #beachlife #beachlove #minimalism #goodvibesurfing #travelQLD #3forthesea #threeforthesea #keepourbeachesclean
Wednesday’s wise words ... came across this quote when I was thinking about ’confidence’. Bottling up emotions and thoughts aren’t helpful. Write them down. Surf them out. _____________________________________________________ #surf #surflife #beach #beachy #beachyoga #writerslife #surfpics #maxjoy #waves #swell #positivegoals #positivequotes #liveyourlife #photography #surfing #ocean #iphonography #lovemylife #surfphotography #discoverqueensland #beachlife #beachlove #minimalism #goodvibesurfing #travelQLD
