Sunshine Beach where the sunshine wasn't!
When we went tot sunshine beach it was raining so heavily and after it had stopped raining was overcast the whole day. It was still fun though.
Tea tree bay
When we went to Tea tree bay we saw lots of the erosional processes like hydraulic action, corrosion, abrasion and attrition.
Tea Tree bay was awesome!
Hydraulic action
Smashing waves pound the rocks relentlessly.
Attrition
A rock grinds out a pothole in the wave cut platform.
Corrosion
The salt in the water leeches out the minerals in the rocks, changing their colour.
Tea tree bay, where there is Tea trees!
Abrasion
Where the sand grates against the rock acting like sandpaper, hence the name. But be careful as this erosional process has an abrasive personality.
