I grew up on the shores of the Derwent River where the estuary morphs into Storm Bay. My playground was the sand dunes and a curious series of rockpools with a small rocky reef only visible when the tide is at its lowest ebb. In this place, golden rocks shine through the water and play with the turquoise and sea greens of the river.
