Early-summer thunderstorms, Caloundra.

We have experienced a few dramatic early-summer thunderstorms at our new home over the last few weeks. These scenes are from Kings Beach and Happy Valley, at Caloundra – on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. Some show storms building, others in mid-action, and others of the retreat.

Shipping containers, NOT Lego® blocks.

The south west of Western Australia has just endured two very powerful cold fronts within 48 hours; the vicious winds tossed several stacks of shipping containers out of their orderly arrangement in Fremantle.
