In this, the final episode in this 25-part series, the featured image looks to the Inlet’s mouth, from a vantage point circa half way along the inlet’s western side.
Waychincup’s particular geology is the key to its singularity.
The modest (and beautiful) little Waychinicup River certainly did not “carve” Waychinicup’s rocky inlet.
Rather, it happened upon the relevant cleft in a spectacular, granite-dominated segment of Western Australia’s south coast.
Each of south coastal WA’s many inlets is remarkable, beautiful, and worth visiting, but none of the others resembles Waychinicup’s.
Most of the others have sandy shorelines and are only intermittently fully open to the ocean; for much of most years many other inlets are “closed” by a sandbar.
With luck, my beloved and I will visit Waychinicup many more times – as is true of most really wonderful natural places, Waychinicup offers something different, every time.
For the next little while, however, Pelican Yoga bids adieu to Waychinicup.
Natural attractions on imminent editions of Pelican Yoga will be South Australian, mostly.
