Geeveston - Cockle Creek

Literally the end of the road in a southerly direction in Australia. Leaving the van in Geeveston we drove south to Cockle Creek on Recherche Bay. We had considered towing the van down to camp in the National Park here but were glad we didn't. The gravel road in to the camp was narrow and potholed and the camp itself seemed to be completely overtaken by guys with boats. Fishing is the only thing to do here apart from bushwalking.
From the National Park office we walked to the Whale Point lookout and learned about the whaling that used to occur here. So tragic. The South Cape Walk also leaves from the same office start point but we figured 16km and 5 hours was a bit beyond us at this stage. It would have been fun to get as far south in Australia as we could.Läs mer
