Saltwater River

It’s school holiday time and although the school holidays don’t correspond with uni breaks, I was able to take a day of annual leave and, with a friend and her two children, headed down to the Tasman Peninsula. They’d never visited Remarkable Cave before, which gave me an opportunity to take another photo of this amazing feature … and of the tumbled rocks on the floor of the cove.

We then continued on to the convict ruins at Saltwater River, which were even more atmospheric than usual in the gloomy dampness. I love the haunted isolation of the place, with the warm sandstone softening the abandoned emptiness of the crumbling ruins.

We continued on to Lime Bay, where my friend managed to catch me in a good photographic moment.

Despite the dull weather, it was an enjoyable day. It’s always nice to share favourite places with friends.
