Natural splendour, real musics, wines, wordpower
By any reasonable definition, almost all of Tasmania’s Southwest National Park qualifies as “wilderness”.
This post is the fruit of a wonderful walk along a relatively sheltered shore, on Bathurst Channel.
Its sequel will take you to a nearby ocean beach, likewise, far from road or wharf.
Comments closedNo faux chateaux or Californianesque excess here: these seven Australian wineries are grand, not grandiose.
All will almost certainly offer you a lovely location, and a warm welcome from knowledgeable, unpretentious folks.
Each has a range of genuinely-excellent wines that begin at prices well south of $30.
Three will also serve you a delicious, affordable lunch.
One CommentI live in a sundrenched metropolis. Today has been gloriously wild, intermittently very wet, ever-changing, mostly cool.
Many fellow residents of Perth regard such days as “miserable” or “horrible”, to be endured, not enjoyed…and not at all photogenic.
They are wrong/blind; dry, warm sunny days are not the only “good” kind!

This post’s photos were all taken in the eastern end of Bathurst Harbour on 22 March 2018, between 6.29 pm and 8.04 pm.

One CommentWho was the most elegant and inspiring swimmer last Wednesday lunchtime at the waterhole in Aspley Gorge, near Bicheno?
Comments closedIts kelp/granite/sand shores are still sublime, and Bicheno the town remains nicely-unassuming.
Comments closedIts paradoxical nature is nowhere more spectacularly evident than at Second Valley – a South Australian “secret”…and a geological marvel.
