Day 180 – Coffin Bay National Park

We had another day of questionable weather and with today being Halloween we decided to stay another night in Coffin Bay and just do a day trip into Coffin Bay National Park.

There were so many emus on the road driving into the National Park, it was a bit of a minefield and one got very close to getting its foot run over as it dashed for the car at the last minute.

We went to a couple of nice beach lookouts but the wind at most of them was unbearable and a couple of times the girls didn’t even want to jump out of the car to have a look. We finally managed to get the masses out at Almonta Beach with views of Golden Island.

It was still windy, but so beautiful! The white sand and turquoise water really do make for picture perfect beaches, but it definitely feels like we’ve picked the wrong season to explore this part of the world…

From there it was onto Yangie Bay, where we were going to originally stay. There was a nice area right on the water where Chris had a quick fish whilst the girls and I explored. Scarly found some cool emu tracks in the mud as well before we headed back to town.

Before heading out to the Halloween disco we had been told about it was time for the adults to have a little treat. We had a little cheeky drink and oysters at the oyster farm across the road. Izzy had 5 oysters, ha ha, I’ve definitely got some competition now!

Then it was time to find what we had in the caravan to get ready for Halloween. Chris managed to buy some spider web face stickers for the girls and with their orange pumpkin tshirts it was time to head to the local disco. What a lovely community to put on a fun event for the kids and to have drinks for sale for the parents – winning! The girls danced at the disco with their friend from the caravan park and crashed quickly once it was time for bed. Scarly was so tired she didn’t even have the energy to take off her spider webs!
