Whilst in Rotorua we visited the Redwood Treewalk. A walk across twenty eight swing bridges, with information on each tree platform about the hundred year old redwood trees and the tree ferns below.
We were staying near Lake Rotorua so took a walk along the banks at dusk.

We’ve just returned from a fabulous holiday in New Zealand. A highlight was returning to Piha Beach after thirty five years.
This secluded ocean beach was just as I remembered. It’s black sand and the towering Lion Rock, remnants of its volcanic history.
The Brit in me still found it amazing to be in such a beautiful place, in such weather, on new year’s eve.

Today, Surf Safari celebrated 50 years of continuous surf craft racing in Tasmania – making it the longest running surf craft event in Australia.
Surf boards, kayaks, outriggers and surf boats, raced over courses from 2km to 28km with competitors of all age groups. After a stormy night the weather improved slightly but conditions were tough for the longer races, out on the open water.
This year, it was held on our local beach so I wondered along, took some photos, enjoyed a coffee and a famous Aussie “sausage sizzle” 🙂

Whilst out for a walk on a new beach recently, we came across these wooden stumps jutting out of the water. I love the texture, the shadows, the reflections and of course another beautiful warm sunny day in Tassie.

Spring Beach is on Tasmania’s East Coast. Families enjoyed the sand, a swim, rock pools and a friendly game of cricket. A perfect place to relax on this Easter Weekend.

This week’s challenge is to share photos of something that is dearly loved. I love living near the beach.
This is Seven Mile Beach in Tasmania. I am fortunate to have several ocean beaches within a twenty-minute drive from home. And an estuary beach that is my route to our doctor, local butcher, chemist and post office.
