Windang Island

Windang Island, Lake Illawarra, NSW Australia.

Rising from the blue waters at the mouth of Lake Illawarra, Windang Island has long been a focal point of the South Coast. Known natively to the traditional Dharawal custodians as Kauyanggang, the island features heavily in local creation Dreaming stories. In the 1890s, it became the site of a bold, failed colonial engineering project to construct a massive deepwater shipping port, leaving behind hidden railway tracks and stone quarries that still dot the landscape. Photographed from high above the clean, rolling sand dunes of Warilla Beach, this morning frame captures the island in its truest contemporary light—a pristine sanctuary of raw coastal geometry, rich local history, and endless Pacific blue.

Print Options
Available as an Open Edition fine art print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm or Metallic Pearl 310 gsm museum quality, printed with archival pigment inks for exceptional longevity and colour accuracy. Every premium print is expertly crafted and produced locally in the Illawarra.

Presentation
Framed prints are presented with a double mat and UV-protective acrylic glazing in your choice of Black, White, or Oak timber frame. Framed canvas and Metallic Float Framed options are available in the same frame colours, with Dark Oak also available for the float frame. 

About the Framing

All frames are crafted from premium timber mouldings in your choice of Black, White, or Tasmanian Oak finish, with Dark Oak available for the Metallic Float Framed option. Frames up to A2 use a 30mm profile - A1 and A0 step up to a 40mm profile to suit the scale of the work.

Framed Prints are mounted behind a double mat with a 6cm border all around — an inner and outer mat board that creates depth and draws the eye into the image — and finished with UV-protective acrylic glazing to guard against fading and dust.

Framed Canvas prints are float mounted within the frame with a deliberate gap between the canvas edge and the frame rebate, giving the work a contemporary gallery feel. No glazing is used, preserving the natural texture of the canvas surface.

Metallic Float Framed prints are similarly float mounted, allowing the distinctive lustre and edge of the Metallic Pearl substrate to remain fully visible. No glazing required — the metallic surface presents its own unique statement and robust durability.

All of our fine art pieces are handcrafted locally by our trusted experts here in the Illawarra, ready to hang on your walls, straight from the protective packaging box.
