Eight Mile Creek

We free camped here overnight on our way to Portland Vic.
Was a nice grassy spot, sheltered from the wind. You could camp on either side of the creek. A short stroll to the beach. Unfortunately, the beach was a bit yuck. Lots of dead Wobbygong sharks everywhere. Plus, the beach was thick with seaweed. Made for a very smelly mess. They think the sharks died after the massive rain falls recently in the area. The fresh water washing into the sea from the creek lowered the salinity.

The other interesting thing was a massive flock of black swans. Over 60. Have never seen them on the open oeacn before

Didn't take any photos. Forgot to take my photo when we checked out the beach...wasn't keen to go back down.Read more
