There’s Mistaken Point, Newfoundland
There’s Moonbeam, Ontari-ari-o
There are places I’ve never been
and always wanted to go
Taken from “Fly” from The Hip’s World Container album.
It’s a little ironic that out of the two places this song talks about I went to the one in Newfoundland first. Mistaken Point is a beautiful and lonely place. You can find the most diverse and well-preserved collections of Precambrian fossils here. The fossils are only accessible up close if you have a designated guide. We unfortunately didn’t get there in time to book a guided tour so we were restricted to keeping our hike to the trail and only walking up to a certain point.
It was stunning nevertheless. I have a deep love of rocks and this is probably among the most amazing I’ve ever seen.
Feel free to listen to “Fly” on The Hip’s website. And in case you missed it, you should also check out Hip Journey Part 4.
