Norah Head Lighthouse Pano - NSW Central Coast
At low tide, hundreds (if not thousands) of Blue Soldier Crabs leave their burrows and march across the beach... they are one of the only crabs that can walk straight forward, instead of sideways. ... They are known as soldier crabs because they all "march" together across the sandy mud flat. Their large numbers are thought to help protect them from predators.

The mosaic rock pavement of Forresters beach north of Sydney was so fascinating to explore. As I first found this composition I didn't think I'd get a good photo that evening, since the sunset was in the other direction and the sky was completely covered by grey clouds. But just after the sun had set the sky suddenly began to glow in the east. It was perfect.
A tale of Two Tails.... a mature Humpback whale along with its calf. 35,000 whales pass by our tiny town of Terrigal every year, heading back to the cold waters of the Antarctic with their newborn calves. Notice how the calf is swimming on its back with white underbelly visible just below the water's surface....
