Cape Hardys Beach Campground

This is at Cowleys Beach, between Tumby Bay and Port Neill along the coast. This camping spot has an honesty box, which uses our chosen fee to camp here as donation for RFDS. We happily put in $10 ($5 each effectively). There is no mobile service/coverage here so I know we'll have a beaut relax - enjoying our coastal view. Very happy with our choice of camp today - it's a bit windy but so lovely watching the water and taking in the scenery. We have our lunch, cheese and vegemite sandwiches, then go for a walk along the beach. We go up on higher ground and follow the coast - very rugged rocks, great views. Back at camp I lie on our bed and finish a book I'm reading, Roger continues to poke around outside. Once I finish my book we go for another walk trying to find old Homestead remains and a child's grave - but we have no success with this. At camp, we meet our closest neighbouring campers, Leonie and ???(I've forgotten) and their rottweiler dog Kuna (as in Arkuna-ma-tutta) as they go for a walk past us - stop and chat for a while, lovely fellow Victorians (Melb) on 5 weeks holiday. Tea tonight we have mince tacos - too full to worry about dessert. Roger has his shower and then washes the dishes. I finish off deleting junk emails on my mobile and dry the dishes and tidy up. We have a cuppa and now relaxing - I'll find a new book to start reading shortly, and join Rog reading before bedtime.
19/02/25 Wednesday We enjoy a lie in - nothing planned except to get to our next camping spot which isn't far away. So I stay in bed reading until after 8am, Roger got up around 7.45am to have his breakfast. I get up and have my breakfast too, then we go for a walk together along Cowleys Beach. Once we return I have a shower, then help get ready to leave here. We drive away just after 10am.Read more
