Where Legends Are Made
In the crook of the Bushman’s River, the tide pushes inland, over the marsh, past the famous Sandbar Floating Restaurant.
A deep hush surges from the bush. To the left, a secret enclave where the first peoples would have met up for nights of dancing, singing, stories and gifting.
All is pristine. Flawless. There is a muted magic in the undergrowth. Silence.
No wind here in this deep bowl of ancient dunes.
