On this walk we stayed on the concrete path above the beach. We started just across the road from where we were staying...
Just looking straight out to sea here...
I noticed this cairn so we went over for a closer look...
We found out that it was a memorial for dogs who served in wars...
Some of the conflicts in which they served...it was certainly an interesting find...
As we walked a little farther along the path, DH pointed out another cairn (big rock!) to the left of the path in a grassy area...it was erected in 1970 to honour Captain James Cook, who claimed the east coast of Australia for the British King George 111.
We stopped for a while to watch the paragliders...
In this photo we are looking north towards Maroochydore and Cotton Tree...
Just beautiful!
