I can’t believe we are on the downward slide towards Christmas, dare I say it. We are enjoying truly amazing weather, here at Caloundra Gardens.

The Sunshine Coast beaches are looking their best, and on Bulcock Beach it is so serene and calming looking at our beautiful Sunsets over the Glass House Mountains, especially having some fish and chips and a bottle of wine, on one of the picnic tables, on the beach.
