• Dongara

    August 27, 2025 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    I arrived in Dongara in mid-afternoon which, after checking into the Dongara Hotel/Motel, provided enough time for a walk around town.
    There were expensive houses provided behind the protected sand-dunes which had spring flowers.
    I walked beside the River Irwin down to its confluence with the sea. Port Denison could be seen on the other side of the river along the coast.
    A couple told me that the white birds in the trees were shags or white cormorants, and there were also pelicans by the river.
    There was a Bottle Mart opposite the hotel, one of the regular large alcohol shops seen on the trip.
    I had barramundi for dinner at the restaurant at the hotel.
