Caloundra, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia - 2008

The view from our apartment at Kings Beach Caloundra out to the shipping lane.

This poor brown snake was found on the beach very tired after being washed out to sea in a storm. The ranger suggested it may have come from a tiny island about 200m out from the beach. All it wanted to do was find a nice warm rock to hide under. PS - they are usually very agressive and poisonous.
