Bribie Island near Brisbane here. Never been out your way, but love all the pictorial views. When I was living in the US, I applied for a job and was told that another Aussie had also applied and put me in touch with her. We were friends for a long while and then she and her husband came back home to Perth where they were from and we lost touch. I think she was from North Cottesloe. Hugs.
Carolsapple - I live near Sanibel Island and yes they do have a lot of shells, especially after a good storm comes by.

My cousin used to have a restaurant on Sanibel and now he has two restaurants in Naples. He has a bakery as well. He used to have a restaurant that had 30 different desserts. Really miss that place!

Carolsapple - What restaurant did your cousin have?
Kitty - We loved the Mucky Duck. I've wondered if it's still there.

He's owned Ridgway Bar and Grill which used to be Chef's Garden. Then he used to own Truffles, Plums, Villa Pescatore in Naples. He owns Bayside Bar and Grill in Naples. Some of his recipes from his restaurant went into publication. His story hit publications as well. Felt really sorry for him last Spring - he lost his 32 year old son.

Congrats on his success, but so very sad that he lost his son.
I've got so many sea shells in my collection the containers take up a six foot shelf! So many shells are beat up from the Atlantic; Gulf shelling seems to be much better.
