    Currumbin rocks - 17th April

    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...
    Cheers DJ

    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

    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.
