Day 37 - Pt Lincoln Nat.Prk

Woke up to an overcast day again but no rain and no wind...off to the National Park. A large part of the park is closed temporarily (Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area).

Drove past a lot of Processing plants for the seafood industry which is the mainstay for Port Lincoln. First stop was Horse Rock, nice little bay, water was milk pond, next was Woodcutters Beach 2km off the road. Unfortunately it was a very rough track which took 40 mins of slow maneuvering around trees and rocks....sorry Wayne. The map showed a track from the bay around the waterfront up to Stamford Hill, I didn't notice that this track was a walking track so we had to go back the same rough way we had come in. Oops

Back on the road again to Stamford Hill and Surfleet Cove, again sheltered little bays. Next stop Donington Lighthouse at the tip of the Nat.Park, Alex had sent us some video of when he and the boys were here. They saw Seals playing just off the rocks....and so did we, just the one but he was very active, Wayne called out to him and he turned to face us, we thought he was going to come over but he didn't.

Could see a couple of Seals on a little Island off shore but they were having a lovely sleep. This area would be absolutely gorgeous on a sunny day, the water crystal clear with big smooth boulders in between the white sandy beaches. Went down to September Beach and searched unsuccessfully for our little friend, had lunch on a picnic table and chatted to the birds.

Last stop was Carcase Rock which was a low atoll just off shore, there were 2 boats out off the point fishing, spotted a few Emu's along the way. Just starting to rain as we came back into town.

Time for Sandy to do her payroll, Wayne to relax and me to read my book. Bliss.Read more
