Aussie Beach Bum

Glenn and I spent a glorious day on Broughton Island, a 90 minute boat ride from Port Stephens. After lunch on board the boat, we walked over the hill to this deserted beach. Just magic. After a swim Glenn lay down on the sand and I could not resist taking this photograph of him. For the non-Aussies, a "Beach Bum" is someone who is unemployed and spends his/her time at the beach.

A very good amusing shot Elaine.
Having the country of origin across his beach bum
adds to the humour too.
(l've never heard of Broughton lsland.)

Nice use of his legs to lead one into the scene.

Love the shot, Elaine. And yes, we have Beach Bums here too :).
