What an absolutely magical place to wake up in! Jazzy was up just before sunrise, so my little explorer and I headed down to the beach for a little adventure and to see the beautiful sunrise from down by the water. It was stunning!
We walked along the beach, Jazzy found shells and coral and just as the sun started peering out from over the horizon we saw a dolphin splashing right near the shore. Then shortly after in the distance, pretty much on the horizon line there was a whale or two breaching. Wow! A great start to the morning.
Unfortunately the tour we had booked with a local Aboroginal guide got cancelled as Brian Lee had injured himself. However this did mean that we just had a day or relaxing and exploring locally and no one was complaining about that…
We saw more whales on the horizon and a few more dolphins closer to shore also. It was a perfect spot to relax and get some vitamin D.
The beach had a lot of red/orange coloured jelly fish, which we had never seen before. I was trying to work out if that is their natural colour or if somehow they had been coloured from the red dirt in the area.
We set up on the beach and had a few swims, lots of digging, went on the hunt for heart rock and just generally relaxed. It’s hard to do anything other than enjoy nature here…
It was only appropriate to have a cheeky Friday afternoon beverage and cheese platter before we headed back up onto the cliffs to our campsite for the night.
We enjoyed more stargazing and ocean sounds… luckily I already went to bed when Chris saw a python slithering towards the van. He did say though that the python was more scared of him than he was and quickly slithered away, but I’m still happy I wasn’t there for that encounter!
