"Looking Westward" Serenity at East Point in #Darwin, Australia. Have a great #weekendgetaway, wherever you are! #Goldenhour #blue
#GoldenHour at East Point in Darwin, Australia. East Point is close to Darwin CBD and at the top end of Fannie Bay. I first went there, from Melbourne, in 1982 and it was a reserve. In 2015, it is still a reserve; now, with recreational facilities that come with the passage of time! It is a special place for me linked to love, survival and change; a long story, a story too long to retell here! If one happens to be in #Darwin, do go there and delight in the rocks, cliffs and sea. Watch out for the changing tides though! 🇦🇺 #iPhoneonly Top End #NorthernTerritory #roadtrip. P.S. Spot the fishermen and the moon! 😉
