This view is one I have dreamed about for years after seeing it in an article I found on-line. The picture is taken off the rarely visited Mt Norgate (419m) overlooking Oberon Bay, then Norman, Pillar, Leonard and Tongue Points before getting to Shellback Island at Wilsons Promontory. When down amongst these points the fact that they line up is impossible to percieve how they do line up when up here is a true wonder to behold. The difficulty in getting to this spot was staggeringly hard involving two days of hard bushbashing and dangerous sea level traverses to cover less than 10km. Part of the journey can be seen on this You Tube clip . Incidentally this clip was of one of the easier traverses on which no-one actually got (very)wet (was so preoccupied with me and my companions doing the other ones safely I forgot to get my camera out, doh). For more of the story of this trip check out the caption linked with my Anser Island from South-west Point pic below.

To get to this spot we left Tidal River at midday on Friday planning to get to Enclave Creek by nightfall. About halfway down the heavens opened and informed me extremely effectively that it was time to reproof my megabuck Gortex jacket. Twenty-one km later at South Point drenched and with darkness approaching we dismissed the Enclave Creek idea and happily retreated to our shelter for a well earned dinner and rest. Our main worry being about the feasibility of completing such a trip if the weather didn’t improve. We needn’t have worried with the next day dawning bright and clear. Rising before dawn I gave all of my five and a half kilograms of camera gear a work out in the magical first rays of the day. I took my time so as to give my gear a chance to dry and thinking that the two days we had allowed to cover the next ten kilometres was ample for the task at hand anyway. On one hand I was expecting this walk to be one of the toughest I had ever done but from my view of the nearby coast I wasn’t expecting those difficulties to start until around South-west Point. So casual was my approach that I decided to fill my water bottle en route rather than at the nearby creek. Boy was that an error of judgment. It started easy enough but soon enough we were forced inland as the cliffs grew shear and our low level rock climbing and rock hoping grew more dangerous. See a you tube clip of my brother negotiating one of these traverses here . Incidentally this clip was of one of the easier traverses on which no-one actually got wet. So dense was the inland scrub that our progress slowed to a crawl with only a few hundred meters an hour being covered. Eventually we stopped at Enclave Creek for ‘lunch’ at 4:00pm after checking out Enclave Creek Falls and satisfying our by now very parched throats. We decided that we needed to make South-west Point by nightfall to give us a hope of completing our trip the next day. Four hours later exhausted but happy we completed the one kilometre traverse between Enclave Creek and the point by torchlight. In ten hours of hard walking that day we had covered a mere two and a half kilometres. We had however scored one of the only spaces large enough to pitch a tent in that we had seen all day. The next morning was one of rapturous delight, experience the new day from a place that a mere handful have ever experienced it from before. The location and light were stunning although it was slightly disheartening to see yesterdays start point so close at hand despite our efforts (visible as the furthest narrow headland on the left of the shot). The islands from left to right are East Moncoeur Island (102m), Devil’s Tower (faint island on horizon, 111m), West Moncoeur Island (97m), Wattle Island (leaving the frame on the right 82m). I’ve been told that it is possible to cross Bass Strait between Victoria and Tasmania without loosing sight of land, so numerous are these islands. All the islands in this shot except Wattle Island are in Tasmanian territory. By 7:15 we were off on another huge day enjoying all the scrub, granite, coast, creek and mountain joy this part of the world could throw at us. Twelve hours later we had covered the six kilometers necessary to reach easier ground at Oberon Bay. From here it was a mere 8km of on track walking which we covered in a little over an hour by torch light revelling in the ease of unrestricted travel before the drive home to sleep in our own beds.

Growing up in Margaret River as a kid, with the rocky beaches and pounding surf along the coastline. I always use to think we would drive to a tropical island when we went down into Meelup for a swim. The north facing beach is sheltered from most of the swell and waves from the Indian Ocean, but when the waves come through…it is a sight to behold.

As a wilderness photographer I have a tendency to value photos from remote and difficult to get to places over those taken 10m from the car or off the public viewing platform no matter how amazing the scene. With these criteria in mind and the experience of this amazing area fresh in my memory I would therefore value this shot as amongst the most significant to me personally that I have ever taken. I first visited the Prom back in 1991 and over many years traversed every track in the area, reveling in the new pads like the SE Point/ Waterloo Bay track as well as some of the more remote tracks in the northern section of the promontory. As a bushwalker who likes to explore areas that few others get to, my attraction to the trackless southwest corner of Wilsons Promontory came into focus fairly early in my forays around the Prom. In accordance with this interest I made enquiries at the Ranger Station in Tidal River about doing a walk in this area only to be informed that off track permits were only issued to parties involved in scientific research. Having walked extensively off track in other regions around Victoria in the full knowledge of local park staff I was frankly mystified by this policy. In the busy areas along the west coast and near the 1961 Cinnamon Fungus outbreak in the north of the Prom I could understand it but in most areas the shear density and verdancy of the undergrowth was its own deterrent to most potential off track candidates. Years later I found my mystification justified when after a mini tornado of letters to the editor of WILD that occurred in consequence to an article I wrote about a circumnavigation of the prom that I did (without a permit). I became aware that permits were in fact issued for non scientific parties and have happily applied and received such permits henceforth. My mystification these days is why the ranger misled me in the first place? Anyway back to the walk, we left Tidal River at midday on Friday planning to get to Enclave Creek by nightfall. About halfway down the heavens opened and informed me extremely effectively that it was time to reproof my megabuck Gortex jacket. Twenty-one km later at South Point drenched and with darkness approaching we dismissed the Enclave Creek idea and happily retreated to our shelter for a well earned dinner and rest.

The location and light were stunning my only regret being the need to hurry and therefore missing a few shots I otherwise would of got, oh well. By 7:15 we were off on another huge day of scrub, granite, coastlines, creeks and mountains our previous days start point depressingly close wondering if we would have time to complete our walk in the time allotted.

Famed as the birthplace of Henri IV, king of France and the Navarre, the Chateau de Pau also played an important role of fortress under Gaston Febus (Gaston III was the 11th count of Foix and viscount of Béarn 1343-1391, he claimed Béarn as an independent fief with its chief seat his stringhold at Pau, a site that had been fortified by the 11th century which was later made the official capital of Béarn province in 1464 of Foix-Béarn) and residence to the royal families of the Renaissance. The tapestry, towers, gardens and donjons mark the presence of a history filled with gallantry, fame and courage.
