A SWELL idea

You are looking at the best Eggs Benedict that we have ever tasted.

Stopped for brunch at 'Farleys' down at Coolangatta.

Sunday morning was the perfect day for another bike ride, this time, down the coast.

Afterwards we went for a stroll through the beachside markets at Coolangatta...

and enjoyed a few large jets overhead

on their way to landing at the airport across the highway.

Came across this smart looking dog sitting beside one of the stalls. Loved his tail.

Then it was a quick ride to Currumbin Beach

to explore the SWELL Sculpture Exhibition beside the beach.

I have to say that this years collection left me a bit disappointed...

but below are some of the more interesting pieces.
