Whisky Bay is located in Wilsons Promontory National Park, or ‘The Prom’, as it‘s affectionately known, it is the southern most point of mainland Australia, about 3 1⁄2 hours drive from Melbourne.
Whisky Bay, I believe takes its name from the creek that flows to the beach, the creek bed is stained by tannins giving it a whisky like colour.
Who could not be inspired by the stunning coastal scenery. Pristine wilderness, and large granite boulders, contrast perfectly with the clear turquoise waters of Whisky Bay. The thongs on the boulder gives some perspective to the scale of the beautiful seascape.
The little haiku below by my wife Jéanne encapsulates the essence of this painting.
Lost and lonely thongs lie waiting, waiting to be found
before curling wave steals their safety, claims them...
Owner wonders about their fate.
