In a few hours, the mood changed. The storm changed the mood of the people on this beach very quickly.  First it was sunny, and then this dark haze and dense clouds moved in rapidly. Everyone started packing and leaving the waterfront.

Most times, the beach in Kingscliff, New South Wales Australia is a glorious place to be. It is a stunning coastline with sugar-soft baby sand dunes. It does not get too crowded and it has gentle waterways the whole family can enjoy. I took these pictures when we were packing up to leave our spot on the beach, three weeks ago.
