A predawn moon waning gibbous, serenaded by a cacophony of wild things on a magical stretch of North Queensland rainforest beach.

crocodile warning

At sunrise today, the winds departed, the rain softened, the ocean calmed and the tide receded to its lowest point, making it possible to wade into the mangrove estuary at the end of the beach. The only problem with a low tide is that it enables the beach walker, the tidal voyeur, and the perpetually curious to unknowingly pass the crocodile warning signs placed nearer to the high tide mark. Oops!
