Perfection for fishing and surfing: Phillip Is.

If I was to create the perfect place to fish and surf, Flynns Beach on Phillip Island would be close to this idea of perfection -- give or take a shark or two!

The bush track to Flynn's Beach: Phillip Is.

The bush track that winds its way through coastal scrub, deep golden sand, and a hillside of calcified roots opens out into a wide vista of surf and golden sand called Flynn's Beach.

Aside from coastal tea tree and banksia, hakeas in flower are the next most common vegetation -- and these I show you in the photos.

The way the track winds its way through a tunnel of vegetation reminds me of a magnificent cathedral: hushed, contained.
