Day 20
Packed up our camp then went for about a 12km bike ride to another village. Strong winds but was all flat so not a problem. Decided on a swim in the tidal pool. It looked very chilly but we ventured in and it was actually quite nice....if you kept swimming!! Alan thought it may be about 18 degrees so no frolicking about. Headed west towards Innes National Park, it was getting warmer and the wind had died down. Stopped at Foul Bay for lunch at a beach and deserted fishing ramp, it was so peaceful. On to the National Park and after paying our visitor entry for 2 nights we checked out several camp spots. First 2 were ok but we decided to look on further to make sure we weren’t missing the best spots. Next few were ordinary and came to the last one, Brown’s beach which had only one other tent and some lovely sites backing on to lovely red sand dunes. We decided this was where we would camp and knowing there was a beautiful swimming beach over the dunes, we found a perfect spot and just as Alan was about to park I noticed a huge black snake sunbaking on the sand dune!!!Will have to rename it “Blacks beach”! Needless to say we got right back in the car and left the snake to that camp! Back to Cable Bay Beach camp, where we set up camp at the most beautiful spot. Alan was a little apprehensive! If the predicted south easterly winds came, we might be in trouble!! It was such a balmy evening; I assured him we would be fine. J Al noticed the fridge was not working but we had dinner and hoped it would be ok and we will check it in the morning. Drifted off to sleep to the sound of the gentle lapping waves about 20 metres away....
