As the first blush of dawn caresses Twofold Bay, the world is privy to an exquisite symphony of light that dances across Nullica Bay, the tranquil alcove of the world's third deepest natural harbour in the southern hemisphere. Today’s sunrise unfurls like a master painter’s brushstroke, blending hues of amber and gold across the vast canvas of water – a vista that has long charmed fishers, whale watchers, and divers with its rich bounty and tales.
This serene morning tableau, captured in the still waters of the Nullica River, renowned for its crystalline purity, is a mirror to the sky's burgeoning splendour. The river's gentle flow surrenders to the embrace of the bay, reflecting the burgeoning dawn as if paying homage to the day's new birth.
Perched to the southwest, Balawan stands as a silent sentinel, its peak donned in a soft halo of the daybreak's glow. The wild fringes of Beowa National Park shroud the bay's periphery, whispering the lore of Eden's whaling history and the famed 'Killers of Eden' with each rustle of its ancient foliage.
It is here, where past interlaces with the present, that the grand theatre of nature unfolds. The humpback whales, those gentle giants of the deep, commence their springtime sojourn, nurturing their calves in the sanctuary of these waters, a prelude to their epic journey to the frigid embrace of Antarctica.
