WELCOME TO THE RED BLUFF

AFTER 5 MONTHS IN MARGARET RIVER WE FINALLY ARRIVE AT RED BLUFF.  I HAD PREVIOUSLY VISITED THIS ABSOLUTE PARADISE 12 YEARS EARLIER AND WAS SO EXCITED TO TAKE OUR FAMILY...ESPECIALLY DAMIAN....BACK TO WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS OUR AUSTRALIAN ENVIRONMENT AT IT'S RAWIST. THE DESERT MEETS THE OCEAN HERE.......AND THE LIFESTYLE IS SOMETHING THAT MAKES ONE APPRECTATE THE PURE AND BASIC WAYS OF EXISTANCE THAT MOST OF US HAVE FORGOTTEN. TO LIVE HERE EVEN BRIEFLY....IS TO TRULY JUST LIVE...NOTHING ELSE.    IT'S THAT SIMPLE ....AND ALL TOO EASY.  LAUGHTER, FUN, SINGING AND DANCING....FIRES AND WHO CAN COUNT THE MOST SHOOTING STARZ ARE ACCOMPANIED WITH EVERY DAY AND NIGHT.  NOT TO MENTION THE SURFING, SNORKLING. FISHING, DIVING, SAND BOARDING AND REEF WALKING THAT ALSO COME WITH EVERY DAY...DEPENDING ON WHAT YOUR IN THE MOOD FOR. NOW LET ME SHOW YOU AROUND ...AND INTRODUCE YOU TO THE LOCALS.

THE BLUFF ....AND IT'S SHOP.

OMG.. A RARE TREAT...FULL MOON OVER THE BLUFF AS THE SUN RISES AT MY BACK WHILST I TAKE THIS PHOTO.   YES...I AM ACTUALLY UP EARLY FOR ONCE.
