A few week ends back my husband and I packed a picnic lunch and went for a drive, just the two of us, through the Gold Coast Hinterland, through the Numingbah Valley, Springbrook National Park to Kingscliff & Fingal Heads. It was a long drive but it was most definitely a beautiful one.
Below are just a few of the photos I took on that day. There are so many more. I guess I was a little trigger happy, which happens when I find myself in such breathtaking places.

This is the pathway through the rainforest nature strip that led to the stairs up to Fingal Head Lookout. Such a delightful walk, with such breathtaking surroundings. You could hear the seagulls ( of the sea) & the lorikeets ( of the rainforest) competing for air space. Mix that in with the sound of the rolling waves, it was nothing short of magical.
This is atop cliffs looking down onto the beach
Fingal Lighthouse - built in 1872

Couldn't help but take a photo of this rather cool looking pigeon. Just get a load of his mohawk!
On the beach at Kingscliff ... isn't it beautiful. Sadly most of the beach has been eaten away by king tides. This was just a little strip that was left. It will take time but the beach will rebuild itself, with a little help from mankind.
This is also Kingscliff
Heavenly clouds ... so beautiful!
