We farewelled Mary, Phil and Kate who head home to day via
Inglewood to visit friends, then Melbourne to drop Kate off, as Phil returns to
work on Thursday.
The rest of us packed up slowly, to allow tents to dry in the
sunshine and then headed south again, along the Flinders hwy, with a stop off
at Walkers Rock, followed by a drive along the Clifftop Sculptures just north
of Elliston then a coffee and look around Elliston, before hitting the hwy
again with Coffin Bay in mind.
A slight detour to Greenly Mount and Greenly Beach for lunch. Col
was checking it out for future hangliding adventures and John for future
fishing adventures.
A stop for fuel and some icecreams in Coffin Bay, then off
to the park entrance to pay our fees and enter Coffin Bay NP. We were planning
to head up the coast a bit, but boy were there some marvellous views and flowers
along the way, so as usual our progress was anything but fast.
We choofed in along the bitumen, seeing plenty of stumpy
tails etc, then a stop to let tyres down before proceeding further along the
park to our camp at Morgan’s Landing. The trip out required a drive along the
Seven Mile beach, which was a good bit of fun. The views and blues of the sea
were stunning. We set up camp and lit a little fire. Quite a cool evening, we
held off our tea until we had moved out to the beach to watch the moon rise over
the land and bay.
The cold sent us off to bed.
