Thinking of heading to Currumbin either Currumbin Rocks or somewhere in that area for a Sunrise shot on the 17th of April. I know it's a common place but I haven't been that way for a long long time and really feel the urge to get up early for a Sunrise.

Anyone care to join me?

Bill I know this is an everyday spot for you so if you have a free moment would love to catch up with you. Also can you please suggest a spot that'd be a bit different from the regular rocks but nice for Sunrises in that area?

Would love to compare my shots at this place a year back and now...:):)

mmm maybe, though I never feel the urge to get up for sunrise, I usually work afternoon shift which can finish as late as midnight.... YAWN......... :D

Would like to join you. So will check back later to see if any more details get posted.... Do you mean to just meet at the carpark at the rock or where A is marked on map as that's a long way from the beach??

Dave might join me & perhaps Deb who's just joined the group.

Not sure how much sleep I'm going to get as my son is having party that night & then if I have to wake & drive down from Brissy.... there might not be alot of zzzzz's happening with the music.... lol

Kerri the "A" on the map is just Currumbin marker on the map, the car park is across the road from Currumbin Rock on Pacific Parade :D:D

OK based on the latest info. sunrise on the 17th is at 6:04AM and first light at 5:40. I plan to be there by 5AM as Bill suggested. We will meet along Pacific Parade as close to the crossing of Pacific Parade and Duringan Street (Bill do you think that's ok?). I have another map (thank to David Dbax) which I am attaching here as well. It shows the meeting point.

10-04-2011, 6:40pm
I will come if I can get some shoes on. I get the stitches out of my toe on Friday so I'll see how it goes. It feels pretty good at the moment so I am hopeful. Are we going to do BBQ breakfast like we did last time?

OMG David - it's been ages I've seen you. I have been asking about you to a lot of people to see how you're going mate. It's a real shame you can't come - would have loved to catch up. What happened to your shoulder and how is it now? We have to meet up ASAP as soon as you feel better. Maybe if we can organize a meet up on the North side I can pick you up on the way so you wouldn't have to drive.

Stay well mate.

Myself and Andrew(Boofhead) will be there at 5.00 am , I think we'll be right , Some great cloud this afternoon late , We only need 1/2hr in the Morn, If it rains we could go to Currumbin Bird Sanctuary , Just 1km for where we are , Bird Feeding at 8.00am and it's free to get in !! , And a Coffee Shop and Breakfast , If wanted , Here's the latest update http://www.weatherzone.com.au/qld/southeast-coast/currumbin :th3:

Now that I have started, I can;t stop. I'll post out another meet up (I am thinking of SS Dicky) at the beginning of May. A few of the guys showed interest as well.

Of-course I am also looking forward to meet you soon where ever you decide on the next meet up

You can go into the bird feeding without paying! You just need to pay if you want to go do the rest of the sanctuary. A few of us went this morning after we finished up to get some birdie pics & had some brekkie there.

Thanks DJ for organizing this event. It was great to meet many AP members. I've taken 400+ photos. (Shooting birds in continous mode by 7D can get large number of photos quickly). But so far I havn't found a very good one. It seems I need to sacrifise more ISO to get higher shutter speed (1/250 sec is obviously not quick enough).

I enjoyed this meeting a lot and will like to meet you guys in other meetings soon. :)

It was my first trip to a beach for sunrise so was not too sure what to expect and with rain off and on while driving there it had me even more unsure about getting out of bed to drive there.
It was a great turn out and getting to meet more face to match up to nicks.

here are a couple from my morning there

Awesome brekky, pancakes, berries, maple syrup, a dusting of icing sugar and a hot chocie. It was delicious! They had a range of breakfast there including a buffet.

there was plenty of chatter going on between the birds which seemed quite aggressive at times

1 Click "settings" at the top right of this page.
2 Click "Edit Profile Picture" at the left side menu
3 Tick "delete current image"
4 Click the button of "Browse..." to select an image from your computer
5 Click the button of "Save Changes".

That is procedure I guess :D I didn't change my image, so not sure if it works or not. You may have a try. :lol::lol:

Larry is right , Except , Not profile , "Edit Avatar'" On the L/H side , Load the photo in to PS , Select > File< Save for web > You'll see the settings , , I think you have to set a maximum of 80 PX for the Avatar on the longest side - Bill :th3:
