I refused to disclose where this beach was on Instagram or my blog but I'll share the secret here. This is Hellyer Beach - it's hidden from view from the highway. Thousands of people would drive by with no idea what they're missing. To the east you can see the "Sleeping Camel" of Rocky Cape National Park. To the west is the distinctive sight of The Nut at Stanley. Directions: You take the Hellyer turn off from the highway and park straight away. Don't turn the corner. Just park the car and walk straight ahead, up the little track between the trees and you'll come out on this huge beach. It's rare to see anyone else here.

Hellyer

In the western wilderness of Tasmania in Australia, there is a remote historic mining town which is rather beautiful and peaceful, named Corinna. It is the gateway to the Tarkine - second largest temperate rainforest in the world. I went there in a winter break, and pitched my tent (was the only tent there) just in front of this river - Pieman River (quite like the name). Almost after the gold sunset, fog started rising from the surface of Pieman River. Then, the whole tone went so #Blue! Everything was just right! However, the second day, when I rented a kayak to explore surroundings by river, a tourism board caught my attention. It WAS nothing rather than description of this place, BUT this river turns out to be named after a convict who bacause of his repeated CANNIBALISM!!!! In the year of 1822, the convict Alexander Oearce finally recaptured, after few escapes, with bits of Thomas Cox's (another convict he escaped with) hands and fingers in his pockets. Even though I was horrified by this plausible true story, I finished reading the story with disgust for Pieman River. Since I have already paied for the rental of a kayak, I figured that I have to go into the Pieman River with a sense of disgust. Fortunitely, the scenery was simply so great that I left behind that horribly inhuman story.
