What a different day to yesterday!
The start of the day involved a reorganisation of our storage boxes and repacking of the camper. We said goodbye to our kind hosts and drove out.
With no home for a few hours, we again headed for the wharf (now beautifully clear) and walked along the pedestrian walkway before heading for the boat ramp. Here we admired the beautiful contrast of high tide of clear blue water against red rocks.
We then drove the sandy road towards the lighthouse point, stopping in in a number of places to check out the beautiful contrasting coast.
Eventually we reached the point and walked down the path past the osprey parents feeding the kids in their lighthouse tower nest.
We did some rock hopping, finding some beautiful crabs while we checked out what dinosaur footprints look like for later on when we intended to come back at low tide to see them.
We figured we had earned our lunch so rewarded ourselves with another walk on cable beach and a splash along in the clear water before we again treated ourselves to lunch at Zanders. Entree of calamari and decadent banana and white choc spring rolls for dessert.
We stopped in to have a cuppa with Ev and Craig at their Airbnb and check how Ev was going after feeling pretty lousy last night (presumably a reaction to the COVID jab that she had the previous day) and then headed for our hotel to check in.
It wasn’t long before we were again heading for the lighthouse point. This time the tide was out and we could rock hop all the way down to the water. The famous dinosaur footprints were located along with some other exposed corals and shells.
We like to think that we even located Anastasias pool (now broken) which was built by the lighthouse keeper for his arthritic wife so she could soak her poor limbs in lovely warm sea water (it filled at high tide)
We then drove across to Town Beach where we joined the hordes trying to see the stairway to the moon as the full moon rose over the mudflats on a low tide. It wasn’t really quite dark enough to get the full effect.
We dined at our Hotel restaurant for dinner as it was handy and adequate. It will be good to be on the road again with our cooking facilities at hand.
