A view of Evans River mouth. We saw families of dolphins and migrating whales from this lookout.
Fishing at low tide looking across the river to the lookout on the hill.
Chinamans Beach where these beautiful rock and pools of marine life were exposed during low tide. It is bounded by the Bundjalung National Park named for the Bundjalung people, the original custodians of northern coastal areas of New South Wales.
Fishing boats have returned to their moorings with catches of flathead, snapper and squid which will be sold at the cooperative on the harbour.
We were privileged to see this family of Ospreys... Dad keeps a lookout while hungry nestlings wait for Mum to produce the meal. Ospreys are listed as vulnerable and the removal of old trees and human disturbance has disrupted nesting. Another danger is that young ospreys become tangled in nets. Members of the local community have built platforms where Ospreys can build and use their nests year after year.
Northern Rivers region communities are environmentally active and among many other activities to try and prevent environmental degradation, they have banded together to prevent coal seam gas mining in the region.
Pastel softness as the sun goes down....a view along the main beach.
