Sunrise Sojourn Over Mallacoota from the Wharf 14 Oct 2023 4k Drone
As dawn broke over Mallacoota, we embarked on a captivating drone expedition, capturing the morning's restrained beauty in 4K clarity. With heavy clouds brooding on the horizon beyond Gabo Island, the sunrise unfolded in muted hues, casting a soft glow over the tranquil landscape.
Our journey began at the storied Wharf. Here, in the gentle shallows, water birds, including poised pelicans, stood still, seemingly lost in contemplation. They appeared undisturbed by the drone's presence, a testament to nature's serenity in the early hours.
Progressing from the Wharf, the Foreshore Park gradually came into sight. A scattering of caravans hinted at early risers, perhaps brewing their morning coffee or simply soaking in the calmness. The drone's vantage point offered a fresh perspective on this beloved locale, its details accentuated by the warm morning light.
As we ventured further, the iconic Mouth of Mallacoota emerged, a testament to nature's grand design where the calm lake embraces the majestic ocean. Our flight path then looped back over Coull's Inlet, its waters mirroring the overcast skies, before culminating at the Wharf once again.

We then navigated towards the wharf, hovering over Foreshore Park, providing a bird's-eye view of the serene green spaces and walking trails. The journey concluded where it began, at Captain Stevenson's Point.

Sky to Sea: A Drone's Eye View of Mallacoota's Betka River at High Tide 5 Sept 2023
At Betka's mouth, the tide runs high,
Swept by winds that touch the sky.
Azure blue where heavens meet,
And offshore winds make flat sea fleet.
Sand and rocks in sunlit sprawl,
Green sapphire waters hold in thrall.
Crystal clear, the river shows
A sandy floor where quiet flows.
Oh, Betka, in your vibrant hue,
A gem where sky meets sea and you.

Bells Beach Longboard Classic: An Aerial Perspective 31 Aug 2023
The Bells Beach Longboard Classic may have concluded a few days ago, but the surfing energy still resonates along the coast. We took our drone out to capture the lingering vibes of this iconic event, and what we witnessed was purely Australian—both wild and mesmerising.
The video begins late in the afternoon with the sun casting golden rays upon roughly 50 longboard surfers carving waves in unison. The shoreline still bears the setup from the event—podiums, commentary boxes, and spectator stands—all empty but full of recent memories.
As you go higher, you'll see storm clouds majestically rolling in from the north-west, offering a stark contrast to the sunlit ocean. The interplay between light and shadow on the water is simply poetic. The onshore breeze lightly ruffles the sea surface as if a painter stroked his brush ever so lightly across a canvas of deep blue.
The Bells Beach Longboard Classic, one of only four events on the WSL World Longboard Tour in 2023, unfolded right here just days before. As the drone soars over the water, you almost hear the past cheers of the crowd and the announcers calling out spectacular moves. For a brief moment, you'll be transported back to the competition days, feel the thrills, the excitement, and the spirit of Australian surfing.
All the while, our drone pans and zooms to offer 180-degree views, a full 360, and finally, a 4K video that brings you as close to the action as possible. Trust us; this is the closest you can get to reliving the Longboard Classic, short of being there yourself.

Betka Open 29 Aug 2023
Betka's Break: A Tale of Spring and Sea
Down by old Betka where the river meets the tide,
A tale unfolded that nature could not hide.
The winter chill was fading, spring was on the breeze,
And Betka’s waters yearned for ocean’s open seas.
The sky was dressed in overcast, a sullen, moody hue,
But hints of blue in eastern sky said springtime's almost due.
The river strained against its banks, a beast about to roam,
The sandbar stood as jailer but could not make it home.
Then came the rush, the burst, the break — a grand explosive sight,
As Betka River broke its bonds and sprinted to the light.
The rocks were tossed like marbles in a giant’s careless play,
As river met the ocean in a dance of wild display.
So here's to Betka's daring rush to join the endless sea,
A symbol, mates, that life itself is meant to be set free.
As winter's grip begins to slip, and spring is almost nigh,
The breaking of the Betka tells the oldest tale: comply.
So raise a glass to Betka, to its break so bold and grand,
Another chapter penned upon this sunburnt, wondrous land.
For just as spring will turn to summer, under southern sky so blue,
Betka’s break reminds us all; life's never, ever through.

Experience the allure of Genoa as you embark on a mesmerizing video flyover, unveiling a property steeped in history and brimming with potential. As you soar above, you'll glimpse the heart of Genoa—a cozy community of 66 residents—and descend upon a two-tiered establishment that once flourished as a bustling cafe/takeaway and service station.

Conveniently located a mere 20 minutes from Mallacoota and within easy reach of Eden (NSW), and enveloped in almost half an acre of scenic land cascading towards the river, the prospects for evolution are infinite.
With its blend of history, prime location, and undeniable potential, all wrapped up at a tempting price of $250,000, this property is a jewel in Genoa's crown. Dive deeper into the opportunity by reaching out to Allan Dobbin at 0418 833 770. Don't let this gem slip through your fingers; act now!
