Making the most of our last few days on the Broadwater

It seems our days on the Broadwater are coming to an end, with settlement on the house due for this coming Wednesday, then we will be straight into the painting and renovating!!!. So, this weekend we have done quite a bit of walking - yesterday we strolled north up Marine Parade on the west side of the Broadwater to the Cafe strip, lagoons, parks etc. Always so much activity on this part of the coast, certainly never boring.

We arrived in time to see the daily feeding of some 47 pelicans by a staff member from the Seafood Market (yep, the Brig counted them while I watched and took photos).

Such gentle souls, happy with one fish/skeleton each Those big eyes match those big beaks!

This morning we walked south down to the bridge, and were really impressed with the waterfront development the Gold Coast Council has near completed. Lovely boardwalks and walkways, urban wetlands, play and picnic areas for families, swimming pools, small beaches, a jetty, and large area for entertainment/concerts etc. The landscaping is actually complete, sooh many trees and gardens- it will be lovely when it is finished in a few weeks time.
