Rainforest Ravine
is a dramatic change in the landscape of towering ancient rocky cliffs.
A stroll along the creek through paperbarks and pandanus interspersed with colourful wildflowers leads to a series of cascades and a cooling rock pool.
The trick here is to get the tides right and not end up with the dinghy high and dry on the rocks.
Beach Caves, on the opposite shore is a series of deep caves that wind through under the escarpment only accessible at low tide.
Ivy Cove At Ivy Cove there is a large boab tree on which the inscription “Ivy 19.10.1890” has been carved.
Ivy was a pearling schooner working in the area under the command of Captain Biddles.
Coincidentally, Toni’s Nana, Ivy Fox (nee George) was born on 19th October
and the Ivy boab tree now has a small family growing around it.
The Ivy Family of boabs :)
