Yorkeys Knob (Fnarr Fnarr)


















My latest beach outing - the spendidly named Yorkeys Knob. Despite the snigger factor, it is not that unusual - there are quite a lot of knobs in Australia. It is also a common place name. The distinguishing features of Yorkeys (as the locals call it) are a beautiful marina and yacht club, and a good location for kite surfing.
















The sign shows all the usual dangers and beach rules, together with the various nasties lurking beneaththe waves. However, there is a netted stinger enclosure and it looks a good place to swim.
















I think that this is actually the titular "Knob", atop of which is what is probably a hotel. It must have great views (of the ocean anyway), and I can imagine watching the sun rise in the morning.
















As I never seem to appear in any photos, here's one of me on the beach. I didn't go in for a swim.
