Spring School Holidays at Betka

Where rivers meet ocean and the breeze hums jazz

📍 Location: Betka Beach, Mallacoota

🎥 Feature Video: Spring in Winter’s Jazz — Remastered (August 2024 Soundtrack)

🎶 Filmed during the September 27 school holidays, 2025

The spring school holidays rolled into Mallacoota with warmth and rhythm this year. Betka Beach, always a favourite for locals and visitors, became a relaxed stage for families, walkers, swimmers — and the occasional sandcastle architect. 🌞🏖️

Above it all, the drone captured something truly special: a coastline alive with movement and stillness all at once. From the swirling sandbanks of the Betka River mouth to the gentle shimmer of the ocean under bluebird skies, it’s a coastal moment we couldn’t keep to ourselves.

Our new video pairs sweeping aerials with a laid-back jazz groove, echoing the vibe of a town where even winter leans into spring.

• 🌼 A wave of yellow wattle lining the bush track behind the dunes.
• 🧺 Picnic rugs, sketchpads, thermoses, and ukuleles… because why not?

This is the rhythm of Betka. Natural, unscripted, and beautifully ours.
