Our lovely return guest Fiona sent us these extraordinary photos after her stay at the Boatshed … . bioluminescence in the waves, lapping onshore beside the jetty. As Fiona said, “just amazing!”

One of those rare bits of Dangar Island magic. An unforgettable experience in our crowded lives, when the world suddenly feels very still. Thanks Fiona for coming back, and for sharing these beautiful images with us.

Spring is almost here on Dangar. These were all taken in early September over the years, when the island begins to wake up again: blue skies, wildflowers, longer days and those extraordinary sunsets over the river.

It’s amazing what comes back when the constant interruptions disappear.

Winter might be our favourite season.

The view seems to stretch forever, mist drifts across the Hawkesbury in the mornings, and the birdlife is extraordinary. Sea eagles, king parrots, kookaburras, tawny frogmouths and a myriad of water birds all going about their day.

Inside it’s cosy. Outside, the river puts on a show.
