I have come to rest,

With the sea before me

And the warm hills, my home.

HILLS AND THE SEA

The following work from E.J. Brady’s “The Overlander The Princes Highway, 1926”,

shows what a deep love E.J. had for this area.

Just under the Heel of Australia, not very far away from the place where Captain Cook got his first glimpse of the Southern Continent, lies Mallacoota Inlet.  A long, in-curving beach runs from Gabo Island to Bastion rock. At its more southern end, a tidal channel, constantly changing in depth and position, gives uncertain entrance to a land-locked sheet of water indented by scores of miniature bays and glimmering havens.
