It was a brilliant day, and the combination of sky, sand and water made the whole scene brilliantly bright.

Even though there was a sizeable lake, the flow from the lake to the sea was a mere trickle. Like much of New South Wales, it’s obviously been some time since it’s rained.

There were only a few beach-goers, but the number of caravan parks in the area told us that this place must be packed in the summer holidays. Personally, I infinitely prefer visiting out of season.
