The white sand and tranquil waters of Hopeground Beach are found on Maria Island, a remote mountainous island located in the Tasman Sea off the east coast of Tasmania, Australia. Said to have more beaches than any other country, Australia has 10,685 beaches (if defined as a stretch of sand longer than 20 metres (66ft) and remaining dry at high tide) so you could visit a new beach every day for almost 30 years. Maria Island was named in 1642 by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman after Maria van Diemen (née van Aelst). Tasmania, Australia

I always wanted to go to Australia, much for the incredleble nature but also beaches.
This is a really Beautiful picture and the view is absolutly amazing 😍 love it.
It is an amazing country; but then it does take up a whole continent to explore.
Yes I heard lots of Great things about it and seen pictures 😉
Hope to get there some day, but Yes exploring it probably takes a Looong time 😁 lol
But worth it Im sure.
Yes you need at least a year to scratch the edges of it.
I can imagine that 😉
What is your favorite place you visited?
Well I am Australian so I have spent a lot of time there ;-). Anything from deserts and the monoliths of the red center , to mountain escarpments, to snowy peaks, to rainforest and the great barrier reef and its islands, to the northern wetland savanna. I travel a lot for my whole life and personally my favorite part of Australia is perhaps Tasmania as it is so unique, a little fragment of the lost world of Gondwana.
Awww....!!!! a pic one 1000 words..!!! Spectacular 😍
I hope you cropped this otherwise I'm going to silently freak out at where it looks like you might have been standing XD
I love these long exposure ones, they always look kind of like they're moving.
lol no crop its a wide angle.
I shall silently internally panic about where you were standing then XD
unless it was a lookout or something
This is a really beautiful place. Greetings from the other side of the globe
Thanks
Immense tranquility
@intrepidphotos..... What a beauty from nature ❤️❤️

Dear @intrepidphotos
I hope you don't mind this comment, which isn't related to your publication. I would like to encourage you to join my personal charity initiative, which I've organized as a way to celebrate my recent anniversary on HIVE blockchain.
Goal of this initiative is to help good friend of mine (from Venezuela), who's having young son who suffer Asperger condition. He just had his 14th birthday and we're trying to raise some funds to buy him small gift.
Entire payout of my post will go to his father (@Joseph1956), so all I would ask you is to visit this post and drop generous upvote.
Help us make this world a better place. Even if just for one kiddo.
ps. I know that this comment does look like it's automated, however I posted it manually and I will check your reply (assuming you will respond).
Cheers, Piotr
Please don't spam. You have been spamming peoples wallets since the early days in steem.
I understand @intrepidphotos.
I will do my best not to bother you again. However, could I please ask you to remove your downvote? I'm not benefiting in any way from organizing this initiative and the only person losing out on your downvote is Joseph and his family (which we're trying to help).
Yours, Piotr
No the ends don't justify the means. In the same way that steeling from nasty people and giving to kind people is not acceptable. You spammed the same comment over and over to people. It's not acceptable; I did not even read your post.
Thanks.
