While trees were being bulldozed to build more houses, Russell Island’s Turtle Swamp Wetland was preserved. This was a place to soak up the beautiful squiggly bark gum trees, grass trees and paper barks.

At the entrance, the wetland had an expanse of sand, an unusual sight since much of the shoreline of the island was mud and the interior red soil; but then again, maybe not, since the island opposite was one of the biggest sand islands in the world.

I love the light and the mystery of it all, for some reason it feels quite isolated therefore filled with secrets…Are you there now?
