Going Coastal

Flinders island in the remote bass straight is as beautiful as it is fierce. The island’s windswept granite and deep blue water give it a rugged beauty that is hard to describe. The island’s solitude is what Simon and Hannah have been seeking, and after years of returning on climbing trips, they finally settled down permanently on Flinders. They spend their days climbing the spectacular sea cliffs, gardening, and birding. This is an insight into living simply.
