HIGH POINT

I visited the top end of Lake Joseph and even from Port Cockburn where I started out, could see this cottage. Perched at the top of cliffs and flying the Welsh flag, it resembles a modern day castle, with a deck projecting outwards like a bastion and the initials HP, from the name High Point, emblazoned like its own coat of arms.

SPECIAL PLACE

At the bottom of the cliffs, below High Point, lies a jumble of huge boulders and hidden behind them is a small pool, a special place to locals. You can enter from the front by swimming through a narrow archway, too tight for my kayak, or from either sides and clamber over some smaller rocks. I stopped for a photo op and brief swim.
