Photographer's Blog: Port Fairy & Wilsons Prom |
Previous Entry < |
|
Having managed to find a few days free I decided to head back to Wilsons Promontory with the intension of hiking its south eastern shores. Unfortunately, at the time, part of the track I wanted was still closed due to flooding during the previous winter. This meant I had to walk the long way around and retrace my steps to get out. I started at Telegraph Saddle in the pre-dawn dark, with the wind howling a gale. It was more than a little creepy walking alone at night for several hours, the trees bending and twisting in a ferocious storm. I made Little Waterloo Bay for sunrise, finding it a haven of tranquil calm, despite the weather. I hadn't been there for many years, but the bay lived up to my memories. It really is one beatiful little oasis. Rejuvinated I continued on, making Refuge Cove for lunch and on to Sealers Cove for sunset. I slept well that night, with aching feet, and returned back to Little Waterloo the following day, spending another night in it's embrace before hiking out on the morrow, just as another storm moved in. I drove away through pouring rain watching fellow hikers just commencing their treks, still smiling despite the weather - it's that kind of place. With a couple of days spare I went home via Port Fairy for another attempt at the lighthouse. I've long since lost track of the number of times I've attempted it, only to come away dissappointed by lack cloud, colour or tide. This time luck was on my side, with blazing dawn light pouring through heavy clouds. A grand way to end a wonderful little trip. Not sure where I'll go next time, possibly north into NSW sometime after Easter. |
