South Cape Bay area

I enjoyed a short trip into South Cape rivulet last weekend to meet up with a group of friends who walked the South Coast Track the week before in warm sunny conditions, until last Saturdays rain hit them. When I walked the SCT last year, I did not get good weather for photography for this part of the trip, so was looking forward to exposing a few digital images this time. Here is a selection of things that caught my attention and made the trip worthwhile.

Hey Tas-man, nice pics.
I love South Cape Rivulet - its a beaut place to camp (the only down side really is the "loo with a 360 degree view", but then again, some people enjoy that kinda thing)
Cheers
Kramster

Ditto, Ian. Great walk into there. Brings back some great memories. Is the out in the open loo still there?

It's a gorgeous area to photograph isn't it Ian? I particularly like the first image with the filtered light.
We were down there in January but my batteries went flat after only 30 shots or so. Still managed to get a few though.

I came across this Quicktime VR 360 degree panorama taken from the top of the cliffs where the South Coast track from Cockle Creek meets the coastline. Complete with stereo sound of the waves crashing on the rocks and beach, it transported me back to this wonderful coastline. You can zoom in and out, and move around inside the panorama intuitively 
ENJOY
