This was the first proper lazy day. However walking up and down the beach it really didn't seem to matter that we weren't running around being tourists.
There was virtually no-one around-white sand for miles and whistling sand too (my first whistling/squeaking sand). I thought this was very cool.
The contrasts of the colours round here are just incredible, the sea is cobalt blue and the grey granite is covered by lichens of various shades-red being the most obvious- bull kelp adds a textural element at the boundary between the rocks and sea. I was quite happy doing not a lot here.
Great little cafe, Agnasi, in Binalong Bay here but we were going to be staying in St Helens tonight. For AUD68 we got into Queechy cottages just over the bridge from the main town.
Another walk around Beer Barrel beach was also absolutely lovely. There were fairy wrens wallabies and the feel of the South African fynbos about the place (actually it all seemed tinder box dry and since we've been back the fires have not been good).
Good fish and chip shop in town 'Something Fishy' well you'd expect the fish to be good around here. All washed down with a very pleasant bottle of Braided River (Marlborough SB $16).
