Hi Monique
I've always wanted to check out Australia. Maybe you could post some cool pic.s later :icon_yes:
I often feel isolated where I live. Especially in the winter

Yep...We're freezing in the UK at the moment, and I have a foot of snow to get off the driveway for the first time in 18 years.
Nice to meet you Monique..

Hey Monique!
Love the beach pic, but can't relate to all of the snow that others are suffering with. Last weekend we had 70's ;D

Hi Monique!
Perth is indeed isolated -- it's almost diametrically opposed to the Official Center of Human Civilization (a.k.a. New York City), which is curious, since it means it's also almost diametrically opposed to Perth Amboy, NJ. How about that?
I'm horribly jealous of your warm sunny beaches. Yes, I'm just dying of jealousy. Here in the Rocky Mountains, we have to suffer through awful winters ...
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages-cdn01.associatedcontent.com%2Fimage%2FA2080%2F208053%2F300_208053.jpg&hash=960a822b3f33db10e4a17310a33acfeb08d8dc7b)
... yes, almost unbearable. ;D
Cheers and welcome!

oooooooooooooo I love cold weather, Im originally from England and I miss it way too much *throws imaginary snowball at you*.
Summer heat is horrible! But we do have good beaches.... except for this one...
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm4.static.flickr.com%2F3073%2F2340835486_d02decbea5.jpg&hash=7d8599cdb7a03fc76d7571cf28a006ee26edfc4a)
This is the drift wood zombie beach. they come out of the water.. eerr...sporadically but when they do RUN! If they touch you then you will turn.. into one of them ? *shrugs*. Sometimes they'll shoot splinters out from their middle legs (usually early in the morning) if they hit you then that part of your body will turn to wood *worried look* for a few days and you'll have an overwhelming urge to try and plane it off *more shrugs*. So I've heard.. I've never had the guts to go there. :P

Holy, crap, Monique! Your beach is being invaded by gigantic wooden Mooninites! Compare your creatures with the with perpetrators of the attempted clandestine invasion of several U.S. cities two years ago. Thankfully, eagle-eyed police officers in Boston discovered the plot and foiled their plans. Here is an image of the invaders from the local newspaper and a link to a story:
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.boston.com%2Fnews%2Fglobe%2Fideas%2Fbrainiac%2FMOONINITE.jpg&hash=edd62ba7500a5c39beb094828130c90bb214bc24)
link (http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2007/02/01/froth_fear_and_fury/?page=full)
Do NOT attempt to confront these ruthless aliens! Their race is hundreds of years beyond ours. Their vertical leap is beyond all measurement. If you should come across a Mooninite, immediately contact the local branch of the ATHF.

"eagle-eyed police officers" :police:, ok now I know you're kidding me... *clicks on link* holy crap it's true!!! :o
Well it's good to see we are not the only location on this planet with weird creatures that congregate on shore lines!!!! Although Im not too sure what is worse; splinter shooting zombies or finger pulling pixelated invaders. :laugh:
I knew there was a reason I never went to the beach!
Enjoying the website so far! Lots of friendly people!! :icon_hug:

Hi Monique
Where is that beach?
I know there are heaps of interesting places in WA. I loved the Pinnacles.
Just to raise the jealousy stakes (in a very friendly way) Adelaide beaches are far better than WA's ;). Our sharks are bigger!
Never seen a beach with snow though and some of the UK footage is incredible - I used to live there!
LoL

PPffttt you wern't suppose to ask that question.. :laugh: :embarrassed:...................both pics were taken on the same beach (well a different part of the same beach)!!!!! ..ok ok I admit we only have the one beach in perth *shame* and the one fishnchip shop as well!! eek!
The picture was taken as part of the 2008 'sculpture by the sea' art exhibition, this one was done by Joerg-werner Schmidt entitled 'humans coming out of the water'. (not really humans, drift wood zombies.. but don't tell the kids they'll sh!t their knickers). "humans? bullsh!t mum".
Adelaide does have nice beaches I'm sure but I've only been there once and didn't make it out of the city.. too busy flicking through record shops!! hey it was raining at the time ...aawww.
