Midnight Wine

So i spent a few days at Coles Bay national park 2 weeks ago, i haven’t been there in a fair few years but i had the most amazing time, i pretty much had the whole place to myself , camping on two different beaches each side of the peninsula, there were no other campers and only a few day walkers. I’ve never been so relaxed, the weather was perfect, wildlife amazing and water just warm enough for a swim. This is on Wineglass bay just after sunset. This beach has been ranked in the top 10 in the world..oh yes:)

    Oh yes, there is nothing better for the soul than spending time with yourself in a beautiful place. The best way to soak “it” up and relax. I’m yet to figure out what “it” is though . . .

  • Michael Walters replied 17 days ago

    You are so right Nerida, “it” can’t be beaten, i always feel so much better after being in a place like this. Now lets figure out that “it” thing….
