Day 12: 3.10.12. Morgan’s Landing Camping area in Coffin Bay NP to Memory Cove camp in Port Lincoln NP.

Given the need to tackle the return trip via the beach, we needed to get an early start to be sure of the tides, so in a record pack up, we left Morgan’s Landing beach access at 8.45 along the beach and back towards Coffin Bay. We stopped off at some lookouts etc to check out yet more of this fantastic part of the world. Today we visited Yangie bay (not all that flash compared to our beaches of the past two days) Almonta Beach which had amazing views over Gunyah Beach. Golden Island Lookout which looked over Avoid bay. All beautiful and blue.

On the way out Meg contacted the Information centre, to find that Memory Cove was vacant and we could have all five campsites. We arrived back in Coffin Bay and stopped off at the Caravan Park for our $5.00 showers, which were well needed and appreciated. Meg and John bought some oysters and we pumped up tyres, got some icecreams and headed for Port Lincoln.

A quick trip into the Tourist Info centre to get the keys etc… then a quick lunch to be eaten en route to our camp at Memory Cove. A scenic drive through Port Lincoln NP before landing at our amazing last campsite, right on the cove with a view of beautiful blue water.

A few more of us ventured in for a swim, or at least halfway in for me, Stef, Steve, Ro, Milani and Mary were all fully wet. Dad wet his line and ‘almost’ caught a flatty, a few more snacks and drinks, Meg shucked a few oysters for John and Ro and herself. Then tea time. No fires tonight.

Very cool, so early to bed and warmth for all.

Dunes and a blue bay.

a clifftop view somewhere along the way - Golden Point Lookout I think..

More great views of the coastline.

The Rock and sea and sand from Golden Point Lookout.

The group saw lots of Emu chicks, but it seemed you had to
be lead car or second. These were the only ones we saw close
enough to photograph. Dad was running them out of harms way.
