    GOLDEN BEACH, CALOUNDRA Golden Beach in Caloundra is a perfect spot for a laid-back fishing experience. You can fish the drop-offs, weed beds, and flats. The nearby Military Jetty is also a popular fishing spot in the area. You’ll be able to catch Flathead, Bream, Whiting, and Trevally. PUMICESTONE PASSAGE, CALOUNDRA Pumicestone Passage in Caloundra is suitable for both land-based and boat fishing. The rocks at the mouth of the passage are one of the most popular fishing spots in the area. You can also access more fishing spots while on a small boat or a kayak. You’ll be able to catch Flathead, Bream, Whiting, Mangrove Jack, Trevally, and Cod. KAWANA BEACH Kawana Beach is located between Caloundra and Maroochydore. With a long 9-km stretch of beach, there are many fishing spots in the area. You can find gutters or fish in the rip holes. You can also fish off the rocks near Point Cartwright. Some of the fish species you’ll be able to catch include Flathead, Bream, Dart, Mullet, Jewfish, and Whiting. Source: ondeckby.dinga.com.au/great-fishing-spots-on-the-sunshine...

Surfing at Alma Bay, Magnetic Island near Townsville, 1932

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    One of Queensland’s top 10 beaches – Alma Bay is located in Arcadia, on the Eastern coast of Magnetic Island. Alma Bay faces due east and has two prominent granite headlands which run out for 300 meters at either end of the beach. The Bay pays tribute and commemorates military staff who died during World War I, II, and the Vietnam War, with a touching war memorial. Ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or just relaxing. In 1886 a surveyor by the name of J. G O’Connell named ‘Alma Bay’ after the Pearce family children living in Townsville at the time. Alma Bay – located in Arcadia is a very picturesque little bay, just 150 m in width at the beach. The beach is often calm and only receives waves when the south easterlies are blowing. “It’s a safe beach, it’s well patrolled for swimmers and there are a limited number of stingers.” according to Arcadia Surf Life Saving Club president Paul -Demopoulos.

    Does the catalogue mean 'Falls", not "Balls" ? [I feel a limerick coming on ...]

    Not 100% sure if this is the right bridge. In 2014 via michelle morley

    I think you have found a recent match
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Nothing to date this, the bridge is from the 1700s. Nearby shots in the catalogue don't look promising either.

    We have seen L_CAB_0599 before, definitely after 1898, probably after 1902:
