Sunrise Today will feature new sunrises and sunsets from around Australia and travel photos and details as I travel Australia. I live on Macleay Island in Queensland and this is a sunset over the Bay viewed from Macleay Island Jetty as I start my journey to the mainland.

I am living on Macleay Island and this is  now my home. Tomorrow I will head up  north to Cairns and then further north to Lakeland which is 3 hours north of Cairns. I will be sharing my adventures.
