My outlaws, the fabulous Traveling Bears, have a house at Boat Harbour on the North-West coast of Tassie and it is one of my favourite places on earth. Granted the water is cold but it is crystal clear with white sandy beaches, gorgeous rock formations, birds, dolphins and fish! We were lucky enough to make it up there for a few days about a month ago and while it was too cold and splashy for fishing it still managed to show off plenty of winter charm.
This post will be pretty light on text but I've been wanting to get these photos up for ages so here goes! (remember you can click on any of the pics to see a bigger version)
First off some scenic shots to set the mood. These are either from Boat Harbour proper or nearby Sisters Beach.
And now that we've established that it truly is one of the most beautiful places on earth, it is time for the Marty Fest! We went out for a long beach walk and Marty was all bundled up in his womblesuit but he desperately wanted to get down and hoon around so we finally caved. He didn't eat too much sand...
That exquisite colour and light of Tassie..... you just dont see it anywhere else!
ReplyDeleteLovely pics. Whats a bit of sand but a wonderful sensory experience for a young boy!

How gorgeous! Magic photographs, wonderful scenery and a beautiful happy boy having fun!
ReplyDeleteHope we can meet the little man before he turns 21!
Love to you all, Rosemary & Wal xox
Marvellous photo's capturing those beautiful warm and cold colours of Tassie, well done Jac. How happy our little Marty looks with his new experience of sand. Oh how he will love to go to Boat Harbour, just like his parents. The start of a huge trend.
ReplyDeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you...
Pics of Marty are gorgeous as always..
I love the ones of the rocks too, especially those two little shells :-)

PS
ReplyDeleteThat would be either Nodilittorina unifasciata or Nodilittorina pratermissa.
(What a show-off)!
Big A: we were routinely failed in 3rd year for misspelling names like praetermissa :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments guys. Can you believe he turns one tomorrow (Marty that is, not Big A)? Time sure flies...
I meant to send our best wishes to the little guy for his very first birthday. I have been thinking of him all week. Have a lovely time, I'm sure there will be special celebrations! xox
ReplyDeleteJac, beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteLove Britt.
