316/366 magic day

316/366 magic day
A walk on the beach with our dogs.

View to Razorback at Black Head, from Red Head, New South Wales.

A small headland separates Diamond Beach from Shelly Beach. Red Head forms the southern boundary. It is composed of 250 million year old red shales interbedded with thin layers of volcanic ash together with fossil land plant remains (beachsafe.org.au). Further south is Black Head Beach, named after the Irish birthplace (Black Head, Antrim) of the first settler William Hoy, who moved to Black Head, New South Wales, around 1881.

WOW!!! That is so gorgeous!!! The colors are magnificent, as is the incredible view. Very interesting to read about too...apparently William Hoy was the first white settler in the area. Had to look up more...the prisoners sent to AU was between 1788 and 1868 so Hoy settled here after that wave of people were shipped to settlements all over AU. Wow...the more I looked, the more I realized that I didn't know at all! Heh...AU has quite the history, doesn't it? I adore the country, having been there twice now--the last time was with my husband on our honeymoon! I would gladly move there, what an awesome country! :)
