The coast, at its own pace.

Where the inlet meets the sea, the view changes every day. Come for a beach walk, a paddle or a quiet look around. Stay for the light on the lake and the people who call this corner of East Gippsland home.

I’m Colin. I share the places I love through photographs from above, little films, songs and stories. This is a place to start exploring, or to come back to when you’re missing Coota.
