Sarina casuarinas

I love a good road trip, and Sarina Beach is a great spot to stop for a break on the long haul from Brisbane to Townsville. The tropical sun beats down on the beach, and the only shade is under the casuarinas on the coastal dune. I loved the tangle of trunks here, the ocean green of the dune grasses, and the dazzle of the dappled sunshine. This large painting is like a window on your wall that opens to the tropics.
