...and why?
Top 5 Beaches welcomed.
Long ago my favourite beach was Scotts Heads: both the ig long one and the little one on the other side of the head-point. The Little Beach was where I saw my first 'naked woman' at a tender age: she walked up out of the water, fully attractive and her towel/belongings just happened to be a few metres where I was sitting. The long beach has since been gutted by a massive storm about 10 years ago. The sand is gone from the main area to be dumped all around the headland, which really killed off any good snorkling aspects.
So these days...
1. Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay: whitest sands in the world and packed with tourists just taking photos. But a good dive, swim, snorkel spot and the place where I nearly died when I first began diving.
2. Long Beach, Pambula: popular with the Surf scene and a not tooo long a walk along the entire length. Neat flat conditions for swimmers, kids also. Visually fantastic as when you get in the water and turn around - NO big block mansions, high-rises, etc. Just nature.
3. The Coorong, South Australia: amazingly long region of beach that really does make one feel 'away from it all'. Of course, I didn't like the numerous 'snake' trails all over the sands. But the beach and surf were well worth it. A great part of Australia.
4. Leeton River Beach: ok, not the best, but for something along a river (Murrumbidgee) its a fantastic spot of respite on a hot day. This country should do more of these. Wild birds, clean water, gum trees and sunsets. Menangle Park Beach, Simmos in Macquarie Fields, etc - all good for what they are.
5. I won't say where (because I don't know where and it was pure 'fluke' in turning up there) - but it was up in the New England area. It was along a river of crystal clear delight. It was full of hippies and naked women frolicking in the water. Very well shaded by surrounding trees as it snaked and weaved through the forest. It was a surreal experience and I knew I was a Stranger in a Strange Land indeed. Oh - so many breasts with erect nipples everywhere!
