This morning was always going to be special, I just didn't know why.

It had been a night of little sleep...nothing unusual but it did result in a considerable amount of effort being required to get up when the alarm went off at 5:30. Sunrise on the East Coast of Australia is around 7:00 so we had ample time to get to the beach to take in the changing light.

It wasn't the best sunrise but it was the best time.
