OK, here's something a little different. A few sinkers left behind by years of fishermen picked up by me when snorkeling one summer.

We have plenty of outside shots, heres one of the inside of the bach, it hasn't changed since it was built in the 1960s.

This photo is almost historic now... the boat shed before being modernised, the Dixons Bach in an older livery.

A closer shot of a fence line, looking towards Thompsons point with Nani Island off to the left (I'd love to know how Nani Island got its name??). I don't suppose you would find much evidence of the old sheep fencing around today.

I'm not sure if I have posted this picture before, if I have you get to see it twice. What I like about it is that it clearly shows the bays previous life as a sheep farm, if you download the image and zoom in you can see the sheep tracks and fences, did those sheep know they lived in such perfect surroundings? ....well no, there sheep.
