Amazing sight of Aurora Australus

Who was lucky enough to see the red aurora lights early hours of this morning?

Reports say a severe solar storm created this beautiful aurora, also known as an aurora australis.

Would love to see your photos if you captured this phenomenon.

What a view! Our little slice of paradise☝️

Our estuary has recently been re-awarded it’s status🙌 what does this mean?

Our lagoon/estuary is clean to swim, walk along and fish in! Our beach is clean and looked after.

The WESSA Green Coast programme awards coastal sites that demonstrate continued efforts towards maintaining the standards set out in the Green Coast criteria. Ultimately these standards speak to Integrated Coastal Management principles.
