We head south discovering spectacular landscapes of remote castaway coves. This area is likened to an impressionist’s palette featuring a ribbon of sapphire seas contrasting with pure white sands and burnt orange rocky outcrops. We explore scenic Boulder Point and Cobbler Rocks and look out for the local fauna coming out to graze on the marsupial lawns at Cod Bay. We arrive at Deep Creek for a transfer to our waterfront accommodation.
