We walked to the other end of Manyana Beach to Green Island. This view is from the top of the hill.

But back on sea-level – the island is connected to the mainland via a sandbar. It’s popular with those who live and holiday at Cunjurong Point, on this end of the beach.

Inland is Lake Conjola and Berringer Lake, both holiday and fishing meccas, but out of school holidays it was very serene.

On the other side is the wild beach of Conjola, and bush beyond, with the very distinctive Pigeon House Mountain in the distance.
