I’ve always been fascinated by seascapes and visiting new areas has been a great part of my enjoyment of sea kayaking. The Great Australian Bight certainly gives plenty to appreciate and here is just a small taste.

Granite islands

Granite outcrops

Often the elements sculpt the landscape into interesting shapes. Murphy’s Haystacks look like old time haystacks and the nearby granite is sculpted into various wave shapes.

Weathered Insulbergs of granite

Other places have ever changing natural sculptures.

Shaped by the wind

And sometimes you come across man-made sculptures that seem to blend into the environment

And sometimes man leaves things to slowly blend into the landscape.

Old dray cart

Harvesters from the past

Not every old piece of equipment is in decay.  We met Wes Davies who organised a classic car run from Perth to Sydney via the scenic route. Wes was a sheep buyer in this area in his younger days and now as a publisher and classic car fanatic in New Zealand, he shows others the beauty of the area in a truly classic way. I’ve always thought that certain cars from the 1950’s and 60’s had sculptured lines and a beauty of their own.
