Still at Wilsons Prom and having fun.



Monday was our first full day at the Prom, we took a look at our map that showed all the walking trails and also indicated how difficult they were, we decided on a couple that were about 1.5 to 2km in length but rated as easy. We also decided that we would do one in the morning this being north to a place called Lilly Pilly Gully and if all worked out we would do the second one in the afternoon, this would allow Rob to see how she was travelling and have a rest prior to trying the second which is a track that follows Tidal River out to and along Norman Beach.

They advertise that the Lilly Pilly Gully walk is great for viewing animals such as kangaroos, emu’s, wombats and birds, well we did catch glimpses of birds, and plenty of evidence of wombats, but did not see any of the other advertised animals.

During the day I also had a chance to drop a line and went fishing on the rocks at Norman beach, although I had no luck with the fish, it was nice to sit on these massive boulders and take in the environment.  

Tuesday did have some plans for a couple of other walks in the area, but nature got in our way and there were showers some quite heavy most of the day the van held up well and although it was humid we were very comfortable, I was daring and tried my luck at fishing again this time in the rain and at Squeaky Beach I did catch a couple of small ocean trout and then the bloody seagulls flogged what was left of my bait so I had to come back to the van early.

At about 6.00pm the sun poked its head from between the clouds and we did the Tidal River walk again it was a beautiful evening and a magnificent sunset.
Today is our last full day and tomorrow we are heading off to spend the night at Inverloch where we hope to find something interesting to put into Wednesday or Thursday’s blog

Well that’s all for the moment.




  Walking along Tidal River at low tide.

 Peter's friends at the mouth of Tidal River.

 This walking track reminded me of the forest Snow White got lost in. Narley Tea Trees lined both sides of the walking track intertwining with each other and it was getting dark and the whole walking track was soaking wet from the day's rain.You just had to be there to experience the astmosphere.

 Rocky hills shelter both sides of the beach if you look closely there are people swimming in the seaspray up close to the hill.

  Having a last look at the beach and watching the clouds form over the hills.

 Walking along Tidal River back to the caravan park keeping an eye on the weather.

 The beach with a man walking at the bottom left just to show you all the size of the hills.

    Looks like a top spot, wish we were there. We'll just have to sit still and scratch our itchy feet 'til Easter.
