Ocean Bay in the Port Underwood Sound isn't the easiest place in the world to get to but maybe that protects it from human overload.
Saturday was a day of bleak weather but rain held off long enough for us to get there (over 20km of steep, winding, narrow, gravel road with evidence of many recent wash-outs in flooding we've experienced in the last 12 months of so. It took the Council Roads team most of the summer to repair last winter's wash-outs. The road is open but not restored in the sense that some of the washed out corners are a just a 'track' with a steep eroded drop on the down-side.

There is a farm, and three or four holiday houses which clearly belong to intrepid folks. It's a great place to take a seaside holiday however. A midwinter grey day possibly doesn't show it at its best.

ReplyDeleteOh, I don't know... midwinter grey days at the shore can often reveal nature at some of its best... including wigged alligators! Fabulously evocative shots... YAM xx
It took me forever to spy the wigged alligator!
ReplyDeletei love the alligator - how clever of Mr B.
ReplyDeleteLovely. Even though the roads aren't so great, well worth it. The photos are lovely!
