Have you managed to see any of the Surf Life Saving World Championships being held here on the Gold Coat this week? Well worth a look, and very cool seeing all the various international teams wandering around the city :)

Taking some footage of the IRB racing down at Talle Surf Club this morning. Was a lovely day for it, with some nice little swells coming in, not cold, or raining... just right ;)

Tallebudgera groyne coming along quite nicely with the ongoing refurb by Council. The creek could certainly do with a bit of dredging, though! Looking great in the late afternoon sun :)

Tallebudgera hosting the latest in the series of surf boat rowing carnivals today. Managed to get a few shots in between the bouts of rain earlier in the day.

I quite like this one, with Surfers and Broadbeach "peeking" around Burleigh hill.

So - who saw the awesome shelf cloud offshore late this afternoon?? Unfortunately, I missed it in its prime with the drone, but it was pretty spectacular to see in person!

Another from my shoot yesterday. This is a lovely little part of the world.

Have been driving past this house for years and wanting to capture it... and today, I finally got
the opportunity :)

Well, gotta say it's great to be up in the air again :) It's been quite a while since I've done anything with the drone that I've been able to share, but last weekend, I managed to get out and get some footage of the recent "Ocean Roar" Round 3 IRB racing last weekend - and it was a ripper of a day!

The IRB (Inflatable Rescue Boat), is used widely in surf life saving for keeping swimmers in our waters safe. Events like these, and the training to prepare ...

Wow how time flies! Hope you're all staying safe and well. Finally got out and about with the drone for (almost) the first time in quite a long time this morning, and got a few shots of the lovely sunrise.

Was on a bit of a mission on our recent trip up the QLD coast for a bit of a getaway to capture some footage of cane harvesting, and managed to track this guy down.

Was funny watching him having a feed while the machine trundled along, chewing up the cane, and spitting it out of the various chutes. Very clever (and presumably expensive!) bit of gear...

Taking a look around Varsity Lakes and surrounds :)

It's great to be getting up and into the air again...
