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.
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.
