My first full year on the Gold Coast. In this part you can find a few images from sight seeing and from some new and old friends.

I go to the beach every day. I live where the white houses start to show up between the pines. It's about 15 min walk to the look out. During work time I walk along the beach for about 30 min, have a swim, grab a coffee and drive to work after breakfast at home.
I try to go for a swim every day unless it is really cold or windy or the ocean is too wild. In winter the water temperature goes down to 19-20 degrees but it stays warm until June or later.

Natural Bridge Walk
Natural Bridge Walk is famous for its glow worms that live in a cage. This giant hole leads into it. It's not the only way in. I haven't been there at night so I didn't see the glow worms yet. But I've been there a few times. It's maybe an hour drive away.![image 10.jpg image](../images/blog/2016/12/10.jpg)
At the bottom is a picture taken from the "best of all look-outs". Yes - that's the actual name of it.

The tiny little Blue Dragon Sea Slug was washed onto the shore another day. Of cause it is highly toxic and has poisonous spikes on its 84 fingers.

One of Leopold's Treat's secret soirees in the backyard in Mermaid Beach, not far from my place. There is a really nice group of people living around Burleigh and further south. Some of them are really good artists.
