Gems like this are in abundance on the #SapphireCoastNSW. 💎 👌 If you're looking for secluded bays surrounded by our iconic pink and red rocks, head for the coast between Merimbula and Eden. Known as 'Devonian' rock, this pink sandstone and red mudstone was deposited during the Devonian period about 360–380 million years ago. You can find it from Tura Headland just north of @visitmerimbula, all the way to Nadgee wilderness south of @visiteden. The beautiful spot pictured is located around the southern corner of Aslings Beach.

Taking a walk here feels like stepping back in time, amplified by sounds of the bush like the swoosh of a yellow-tailed black cockatoo or scamper of a goanna. These beautiful images were taken by @honeyatkinson in the forests of #MimosaRocksNationalPark surrounding @tanjalagooncamp. 🙌 If you ever have the chance to visit this spot we highly recommend it! 🌿 #SapphireCoast #WonderfullyWild #tathra #bermagui #farsouthcoastnsw #feelnsw #newsouthwales #seeaustralia #australiagram #ig_australia #voyaged #stayandwander #australia #nswparks @visitnsw @australia
