Spent a relaxing weekend in Sussex Inlet, about three hours south of Sydney by car. We paddled around in canoes all day, then rented a boat the next morning and went beachcombing.

We found a whole bunch of these little spiral cone-shaped shells that looked sort of like conch shells, but they were no bigger than a thimble....

There must have been thousands of them on the beach (tourist season hasn't really started yet, and I think we arrived at the beach just as the tide went out, so we had first pick of the shells).

I had never seen anything like them before.
