Cooly rocks continues.......

Hello again ☺ Today (saturday ) was the parade day and the crowds were gathering

More cars parked in many of the streets

Nice Mexican rugs on this one ☺

Road blocked off just so people can check out the cars and for the parade to come around

Lots of Holden's

Near the beach where there is usually just a few people walking lol 

More police, got to love a man in uniform ☺

One of the neat silver air stream vans 

Look at this crochet dress

Clown came zipping past, could not get a face shot....

The man enjoying strolling among the many market stalls
I bought my brother a RAT FINK t-shirt info on rat fink he had a t-shirt when he was a lot younger so I know he will be happy with this, plus his own initials are RF ♥
The parade started while we were trying to get back to our room and balcony and as you can see can only see people not the Harley's driving by......

One of the many trucks with rockers on board


Finally back up on our balcony, bands playing people dancing


Jigging along as the get cheered by the crowd

A group of Ukulele players

Rollerskating 


Just look at that crowd.....and it spread from one town a kilometre away to here and around this town

The parade ended and people started to head on down the streets and at the stalls 

Last car to show the end ☺

Oh and while on the balcony zoomed in on a plane landing ☺

Night time and that air stream caravan and the cars drove through both towns and around again from 6-8pm so there was HEAPS of noise, revving, tooting and shouting.....also last night Sunday...today is a lot quieter here thank goodness lol 

Quite a neat sight 

Goodbye Cooly Rocks on ☺☺

Having fun with my zoom, this boat was so far away that to our eyes all we could see was white line on the sea, but the zoom confirmed it was a boat not a whale.....

On the balcony looking towards Surfers Paradise

Half zoom and another beautiful day 

Full zoom and there are the many buildings in Surfers

Climbed to the top of the hill to where my photo started from our building, I was quite breathless lol 

Nice picture looking back the other way towards Green mount surf club

We headed out early yesterday to escape all that noise and crowds (Sunday) to go have a catchup with my sister, hubby, her girl and partner

Here is the little hire car we have been using for this fortnight

Their home where someone I love to see and pat lives........

There he is, MILO, love this little dog ☺☺♥
We headed out for a lovely meal at a Austrian cafe 

There's Lolly again and hubby ☺☺
Had a wonderful lunch and time all together lots of chatting ♥
Thank you for dropping by and for the lovely comments
Visit again and do hope you are having good weekend where you are

Cooly Rocks on and sunny weather

Hello my lovely visitors! Got to love a great ocean picture ☺

Plenty of surfers enjoying the waves and great weather

We have been doing a LOT of walking and enjoying it.....

Managed to find one Bush Turkey hanging around

It thought it might be able to hock into some peoples food etc lol 

Here in Coolangatta, one side of the road is NSW the other QLD and very interesting when daylight savings happen as QLD do not have this.....gain or lose an hour by just crossing the road


One of the many interesting shops here with all sorts of paraphernalia from ancient to recent....

Even an fancy cow lol 

Packed full of all sorts of stuff 

Oh look my sis Lolly and hubby visited for the day (unable to stay) and the man trying  to hide

Nice pic of the 2 of them....hello Lolly (she reads this blog ☺)

A gorgeous sunset which they saw before they drove back home (1hr away)

This is Mt Warning and looks pretty impressive at sunset

Yesterday we took a train ride (90mins)

With plenty of country views

To the caravan and camping show in Brisbane 

Oh how cute we have matching shirts from Winjana (the place we bought our 5th wheeler)

And yes those cars keep arriving for the upcoming BIG weekend

Look there is now heaps of marquee's with all sorts of rock and roll stuff, car stuff, anything and everything ☺

Another great sunset shot last night

Today is Friday and this weekend is going to be HUGE and very very busy

Zoomed in from the balcony to this dress stall.....

Another shot showing the stalls and many cars arriving and such a beautiful day for it all

Had a good stroll  to check out what everyone is so keen to see.....

Cars.....lots of them 

View of background marquee's and the noise is amazing of cars arriving, music playing people dancing.....

His and Hers





Incredible vehicles who are very loved by their owners....

And the police are here to make sure everyone has a good safe time ☺♥

That car I got a picture of the other day parks here every day in from of the Cooly hotel 

Mini type cars ☺

Even one with a turtle head lol 

Just some of the accommodation here 

With a view like this......

More cars

Oh the year I was born.....neat ☺

Even the joker is painted on this 57 chevy 

Rat Fink is even here.....

Our view while having lunch today at the Greenmount surf club
