Burleigh Heads

 This is the real thing.

And this is the real thing up-cycled by a very talented artist - this was along one of the walks we did in Currumbin when we were staying down in Burleigh with our friends, Mary and John. Richard Moffatt is the artist who took the real image and up-cycled it in 12 different poses with materials which he found, old pipes, propellers, you name it if it fitted a pelican part he used it. 

Originally there were 12 but two flew off to a different destination and 10 remain. I thought they were exquisite in their poses, their confidence, the accuracy of the representation.

The creek was beautiful and we enjoyed the board walk and watching orange and blue crabs flitting in and out of their holes in the sand. 

We walked in Burleigh Heads National Park and enjoyed the forest, the pandanus groves and the mangroves.

We were wined and dined, treated to the best Coffin bay oysters and had such a fun time. 

The Burleigh Brewery was a cool place and utterly surprised these two Greek women who thoroughly enjoyed their beers. The men, well they were in their element too.
