We are haunted by the Rainbow Beach experience.

We were driving up to Nudgee Beach this morning, and across the bay we could see the rainclouds moving across the water.

We arrived at Nudgee Beach and the air was breezy but humid. Off to the South the sky looked imposing in a very grey way.

We decided to go for it and walked up the beach. Within five minutes ten mosquitoes had gone to meet their maker. They were swarming.

We escaped from the mangroves despite Eloise's complete lack of urgency or sense of concern over the circumstances. We got onto the beach itself. And it started raining.

So, remembering the drenching we got at Rainbow Beach, we turned tail and made our way back to the car.

It pitter-pattered a bit on the way back.
