Hoopers Inlet Boatshed

This is a popular location for Aurora photographers. It is a short drive over the hill from Portobello. The inlet is often closed to the sea but there are good stocks of Flounder and Mullet. One of the locals stocked the inlet with 250 salmon smelt 20 years ago and salmon are being caught now. There are some beautiful wetlands at the end of the road and the birdlife is spectacular.

This image was taken 5 minutes before sunset but due to the hills the actual sunset, for me, was 10 minutes prior.
