The boat was fitted with wheels so it could drive into the sea and then the wheels could be raised up allowing the boat to then ride the waves, we felt like a we were staring in a scene from a James Bond movie.

    We arrived and there was no one on the beach, we spent two hours totally alone, fishing, drinking a chilled bottle of bubbles and taking photos of this special, magical place.
    Willy came to pick us up and we sat on the sand chatting about his home (island) Dreamtime, his culture and ceremonies , the threat of mining companies after the iron ore in the area.
    The bay has an array of bush fruits and bush medicine, Willy told us of the stories that the old man of the village would heal the kids bronchitis and how the sap of a native tree has healed his own child’s eczema when he was born.
