Mallacoota’s tranquil coastal landscapes set the stage for my latest music video, Seal Creek Beach in Winter: Jazz. This time, I’ve combined calming drone footage with an upbeat jazz ballad that reflects the refreshing charm of this warm winter’s day. The video captures the gentle beauty of sapphire seas, golden sands, and the graceful flight of sea eagles, offering a relaxed and enjoyable experience.
Seal Creek Beach: A Place to Unwind
It was one of those perfect winter days—sunny, with clear skies and just a few clouds on the horizon. I set out from Shipwreck Creek, following the steep coastal track down to Seal Creek Beach. The descent was a bit tricky, but the views were well worth it. The ocean shifted from deep blue to clear green as it met the golden sands of the beach, creating a refreshing and peaceful scene.
Seal Creek, with its dark, tannin-stained waters, trickled gently across the sand into the ocean, leaving a soft brown trail. Framed by rocky outcrops at either end, this quiet beach felt like a hidden gem. After the walk, I sat on the sand, soaking in the warmth of the winter sun, and launched my drone to capture the landscape from above.
Drone Views and Sea Eagles
The drone offered a peaceful, sweeping perspective of the area. With 180-degree and 360-degree views of the coastline, ocean, and bushland, the footage reveals the quiet beauty of Seal Creek Beach. The calm rhythm of the waves, combined with the gentle flow of the creek, painted a serene picture of this coastal spot.
During the filming, a pair of white-breasted sea eagles appeared, gliding effortlessly on the coastal breeze. Their graceful flight added to the tranquil feel of the day, perfectly matching the mood of the video and the accompanying jazz ballad.
Seal Creek Beach in Winter: Jazz
The song I composed for this video, Seal Creek Beach in Winter: Jazz, features upbeat melodies with double bass, acoustic guitar, soft piano, and mezzo-tenor harmonies. It’s light and rhythmic, complementing the ebb and flow of the waves and the soft movements of the landscape. The music echoes the natural rhythm of Seal Creek Beach—the flow of the creek, the gentle waves, and the peaceful soaring of the eagles.
A Quiet Moment at Seal Beach
After capturing the footage, I took a quiet moment to rest on the beach. The gentle hum of birds in the bush and the rhythmic sound of the waves provided a calming backdrop. Sitting on the sand, with the sun warming the winter air, it was a perfect spot to simply relax and appreciate the beauty around me.
A Day to Remember
After a few hours of exploration and reflection, I made my way back along the trail to Shipwreck Creek Camping Grounds, with Seal Beach fresh in my mind. It had been a peaceful and refreshing day, filled with the simple pleasures of nature. Mallacoota’s beauty always has a way of grounding and calming me, and this latest video reflects that feeling.
I’ve included some additional photos—180-degree and 360-degree panoramas—from the day, which showcase the expansive views of Seal Creek Beach, from the crystal-clear coastal waters to the rugged surroundings.
