The place has a kind of fey wildness that never fails to infect visitors with a timeless peace and the creeping sense that strange, shy creatures are watching from the breathing scrub and water.
A river winds through a deep, moist valley, darkening with the tannins of tea tree until it reaches the stone-locked inlet. Opposite, the sea squeezes in through megalithic gatekeepers and these two surges colliding create a gentle, breathing tide. Breathe in, breathe out.
