The Hazards from Wineglass Bay on
departure morning |
 |
Storm clouds race above The Hazards
casting dark shadows across the same pink granite mountains that
the great French explorer Freycinet sketched from Le Naturaliste
in 1802.
Across Wineglass Bay a cold wetness is falling to an open horizon
flecked white that’s calling
our spirits to run free and close the last link, to complete the circle
around Earth’s largest inhabited island.
So far every link has needed courage and strength. Each has been as
different as the colours in a rainbow. |
