Some places never lose their magic, and Boera is one of them.
Every year we walk those ridgelines and every year the views still stop us in our tracks - wide open skies, sparkling coastline, and that feeling that nature is showing off just for us.

The Bushwalk Sunday, 24 May 2026, was no different. The breeze was perfect, the company even better, and the scenery… well, Boera did what Boera always does: amaze us, again and again.

A huge thank you to Davage Picnic Beach management and the Boera Village community for kindly allowing us to park and walk on their property.

Here’s to another Sunday of walking, laughing, and soaking in those unforgettable views with this awesome crew.

“Some places don’t just look beautiful - they remind you to breathe.”
