Yesterday while The Other Half was in the shower and we were making plans for the day I had a thought – I felt like going for a beach walk. It didn’t take much to talk him into it and it was a lovely day, so we were off to a place I’d heard much of but hadn’t been to yet. First up, Wowley Creek at Callala Bay –
No wonder I’d heard much about it, because it was very beautiful. I got my shoes all wet crossing the little creek to get up on those sand dunes and look down into the crystal clear water.
But it was worth the wet shoes. Little fish were jumping out of the water, and other sea life could be seen in the creek including some mud crabs. I’m going back here again for sure. After we were finished at the creek we went to one of our favourite spots for a walk out into Jervis Bay. This is also in Callala Bay.
At low tide you can walk out quite a distance into the bay without getting feet wet at all. This photo below looks backwards from where the above shot was taken.
If you look closely you can spot the nice little bridge that goes from Callala Bay to Callala Beach over mangroves with much sea life in there.
Pelicans are absolutely huge birds but in this photo above they look small.
This shot above looks towards Huskisson and Vincentia, both lovely towns situated on Jervis Bay and much sought after to live in.
This shot above looks out towards Honeymoon Bay, where we like to snorkel in summer. The Other Half named this next shot “Worshipping the Bird God”
Next we drove to Currarong, where apparently one of the people behind the Survivor series lives. It is a really beautiful place.
We were met by a Kookaburra and soon after we made our way to the beach this guy and some of his friends were laughing. ;)
They have a beautiful rockpool at Currarong where you could go swimming, it is quite protected from the waves and as I stood there on the little stairs I was watching fish swim by. Beautiful!
This is my favourite shot from yesterday and coincidentally I took it. See the little star effect created by the small aperture?
I hope you enjoyed my beach walk photos. ;)
Great scenery as always ;)
It looks absolutely breathtaking!
Some lovely shots, what a beautiful environment. I felt a little calmer just looking at them.
Oh man, i am sooooooooooo jealous! This looks so beautiful What a great photographer you are.
Wow, that’s beautiful. I live about an hour from the ocean, about three hours from really nice beaches. We only go if it’s for vacation – we’ve got two weeks coming up in August – and every time we’re there it just feels like home.
Fantastic pictures. Thanks for sharing!
So beautiful! This may be the only way I am able to see Australia. :)
Peace,

Woooo – love the pictures, I live vicariously through you, you know :)
(oh – and I like the new blog design!)
They look beautiful – though the mention of snorkelling had me shivering. I love a good beach walk..
Thanks all for lovely comments! ;)
