Fri, 21st Nov, 2014 Shallow Inlet Campground

Cool overcast and windy morning. Quiet day to rest our weary legs! I worked on my blog and Steve read and pottered about.

We went for a walk along the foreshore as the tide was in. Lots of sea grass on the bank.

If we keep walking we would reach Wilson’s Promontory but we stopped at the “point” as the locals call it and turned back. Quite a walk any case. View back to boats outside our camp – had to zoom in to see them.

From the point looking around towards the mouth which is still another couple of kilometres.

 Zoom

 Zoomed right in

Steve tested the water in the soak – drinkable. Looks like a wombat might have been down digging for a drink.

The clouds are moving over quickly. Good view of the Foster Ranges and all the dairy farms.

Someone pulled the old tree stump away from the wombat hole.

 Zoomed in to try and see him.

He certainly has a good view though.

Took another photo of our van in our camp. Paid for another two nights.

Back to the van for some lunch and more blogging. After a cuppa back down the beach for another walk – got to keep the legs moving. A chap with a couple of dogs said that two wombats came flying out of the hole and everyone got a fright as the dog took off after one. Hope they didn’t hurt it.

Chatting with our neighbours and we can drive down a road from Yanakie that takes us closer to the mouth of the inlet so might do that tomorrow.

Amazing how all those clouds have disappeared and the sky is now clear and blue. The weather bureau got that wrong as they said the bad weather would settle in for a few days. Glad they were wrong but we could have walked Mt Oberon today with a better view. Oh well, another time.

Roast beef in the Ecopot with roast vegs fried in the frypan – lovely dinner. Down to the foreshore for sunset at 8.15pm. Light but cold breeze. Chatted with a few people while the sun set. Watched a couple fishing who are planning to stay out all night to try and catch a gummy shark!!!

  

Back to the van for a quiet night – “Bodyguard” is on Gem – love that show.
