Reading the Rocks, Another Highest Tide Day – More Fun
January 14, 2024 By jennifer 20 Comments
I was out again yesterday, scrambling over the rocks below Boiling Pot Lookout in Noosa National Park. It is what biologists enjoying doing most, observing nature close up. All the better when you can sit-in your favourite marine pothole and see if the tide will eventually wash over you.
Waiting for sea level rise.
Before the moment of the highest tide, and before we had even made it around to the platform with the marine potholes, I found myself in the water, walking out to see where I had been just a few months earlier on the lowest tide for last year.
Just walking towards that pandas palm on the far headland, beyond the surfers.
I swear, just a few months ago, I could walk right across here. … remembering August 2023.
lets see if I can get a selfie, before the next wave takes my hat, sunglasses and camera
I still have my camera, proof … I got this photograph while treading water
You might be inclined to think that we have sea level rise here in Noosa when you see these photographs, but it’s actually just a case of the time of year and the time of day. Because you see, the sea level is very affected by the sea tides.
