Current 'pick the place' comp

Got some 'detective work' for yuz.
The shadow of the child is short and behind. Being short means it is close to midday and in Oz the shadow will fall to the South, therefore the child is facing roughly Nth, therefore the beach is facing roughly East. So it must be on the East Coast! Wrong. There are plenty of coastal areas that have beaches facing opposite the predominant direction. Ahhh, but what about the seagulls in the photo; that should narrow it down! There are other people on the beach so it isn't remote; unless they're part of the same tour group. The photo could be cropped so that obvious features are eliminated. Good luck. This message will self-destruct in 5 seconds.
