Day 116 – Coconut Well – Thierings on Tour

There were a number of errands to run this morning, including picking up the many parcels that will go towards Jazzy’s birthday treasure hunt, organising Father’s Day presents, the never ending washing, food shopping to stock up for the next stint away and finally a cheeky pedicure for me. My goodness, the poor lady dealing with my feet after all this time away must have been horrified!

We overheard a conversation about Coconut Wells at reception and how you can float down a calm yet gorgeous inlet during the high tide, which today conveniently fell around my lunch break. So off we went to check it out and it didn’t disappoint 😊

As we arrived, there was a huge bird there, I’m thinking it was a type of brolga?! I’ve never seen such a tall bird in the wild before.

We walked up along the edge of the inlet to make our way to where it meets the ocean and the view was spectacular! The white beach against the turquoise waters was so pretty and because the water was fairly shallow it also felt pretty warm. It would have been perfect to have big floating rings, but just pool noodles worked fine too. We actually forgot ours in our rush to get out of the caravan park, but our friends were generous enough to share theirs with Jazzy & Izzy.

You could easily do the float over and over again, if you have the time (and can be bothered walking in the soft sand to get back up to the top of the inlet), but everyone was hungry.

As everyone dried off we enjoyed some chicken wraps and headed back to camp. The girls did a bit more homework and I got through my work and meetings in the meantime. As always, there was also time for the pool before dinner!

We thought it would be nice to enjoy dinner with a view for our last night in town, so we headed to the highly recommended sunset bar. It was a nice spot (minus the current road construction out the front) and we enjoyed some drinks and yummy food.
