DSC1049 Bathers enjoy covering themselves in brown froth. The frothy brown tides occurred along the beaches at Alexandra Head on the Sunshine coast in Queensland, Australia. Due to the unusual recent heavy rains and tropical storms in the Australian summer of 2010/11, the water from the nearby estuaries turned the sea into a frothy brown colour and also bringing debris and driftwood onto the shore.
