Pirate ship anchored in Shoal Bay at sunrise! Notorious, it is a replica fifteenth century Portuguese sailing ship built over ten years by a couple who sail up and down the east coast, surprising locals with their unannounced visits!
Quiet solitude on a perfect spring day waiting for that big bite!
Vast granular landscapes sometimes traversed by the light footprints of humans and animals.... one of the awesome masterpieces of nature. The dunes are 40 metres high and extend for 32 kilometres making them the longest moving sand dunes in the Australia and possibly in the southern hemisphere. These are the Stockton Bight Sand Dunes, part of the Worimi Conservation Lands within the country of the Worimi Aboriginal nation.
Shifting silence.......
A ferry ride across the clear waters of Port Stephens on a sunny day. Leaving from Nelson Bay, we crossed Port Stephens where we were accompanied by dolphins, travelled up Myall River and reached the quaint village of Tea Gardens where I had lunch before returning during the afternoon. The ferry is 85 years old and has been converted from a war time tug boat to a ferry with chairs taken from an old cinema and benches which were originally pews taken from an old church.
Ancient Aboriginal fish traps in Myall River no longer used for trapping fish but now home to oysters aplenty.
