Windy Harbour was somewhere we have always wanted to go but somehow never quite made it, so off we went. Recent bushfires had cut the tiny holiday settlement off and left it isolated. Driving along the South Coast Hwy and through nearby Shannon National Park showed us how terrifying it must have been. It was devastating to see forests that we had recently been through burnt to the ground.
We were amazed to see the fire still smouldering some weeks after it was brought under control.
Windy Harbour. It lived up to its name. It was freezing while we were here.
The holiday settlement was amazing.

Quite incredible to find these signs unaffected considering the damage to the landscape all around.
Nature at its best. New life.
Below, an interesting rock formation amongst the remains. To us it appears to be an aboriginal elder. Along with the signage, very eerie.
