Clear pristine beaches are great, but I really appreciate the intermingling of rock formations and sand on the south coast of New South Wales. At low tide, I noodle through the little pools of pleasure and watch the darting shadows of tiny fish.

I’ve just added my name to a submission to the Senate, calling for a Digital Duty of Care that puts us – not Big Tech’s algorithm – in control of our feeds. Pauline Hanson and Big Tech want this law dead. Submissions close Friday – add your name too act.getup.org.au/s/W1PHDEeg

I can’t take a photo of me doing the float, but 10’ after this shot, I got into the Tuross River up to the right and ride the current down to Tuross Head off to the left. Passing over large stingrays and schools of small fish was fun. The serenity of nature is great.

There are four distinct non-interbreeding types of Blue Bottles. They are found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. This guy arrived with an easterly wind on the beach at Mystery Bay, his pneumatophore was at least 15cm long.

Sunrise hits the top of the gums next to my driveway as I wait in the shadows. A lovely warm morning ahead of a glorious south coast day. Off to the Narooma Rotary market this morning and a swim at Mystery Bay this afternoon.

Winds are said to increase as will cloud, maybe even a thunderstorm later. I’m working hard on breathing in the negative ions while watching the constant movement of the waves.

Glasshouse Rock in the distance on a warming day. The clouds on the horizon will burn off ahead of possible storms tonight. The south coast of New South Wales keeps you on your toes.

I’m on Walbunga / Yuin country and this body of water is the Wagonga Inlet. Wagonga means “stinging nettles grow”, and I wore gloves when I rid my front yard of some.

The Sapphire Coast isn’t named after an aspiration. It’s like a different ocean sits on the south coast of New South Wales.

A tinny sleeps on the shore of the Wagonga Inlet. The weather has improved for me, but the locals like the rain more than these clear days after a long dry spell.

The sunrise making the rocks at 1080 Beach glow, it warms both my skin and heart. More south coast of New South Wales serenity. A little cool, but a clear day.

We don’t seem to have Noisy Miners around here, but the Rainbow Lorikeets are just as bossy. They move on the bigger King Parrots when I leave seed on fence posts for them.

I did geology for my final years of high school, and the south coast of New South Wales lets me show off my rock skills, so if you want get rather bored, you could stroll with me.

On a grey, cool day, I thought I’d give you a wave. Not an ocean wave, but a seal or two wave.

I think I’ll stop looking at my weather app. Last night it said a cool day and cloud cover all day for my part of the world, but the Sapphire Coast delivered a stunning (correctly forecast), cool, clear sunrise.

Poole’s Beach is longer than what is shown on a map. At low tide, it takes 40’ to walk the length of rocky outcrops interspersed with sandy stretches. Yesterday afternoon I was walking the length and spotted the rainy change coming up the coast. It was over Bermagui at this point

Every political party now has the tools to manufacture fear on demand. A ban on deepfakes in political ads would stop this before the next federal election. Add your name act.getup.org.au/s/OgSMHTex

The bad weather forecast hasn’t made it to the south coast of New South Wales yet. Just me and another empty beach with lovely clouds.

The days ahead are forecast to be drab, so I made sure to get up early this morning to catch a Mystery Bay sunrise. And I highly recommend you search out why the mystery is in the name.
