Finally, with good campground wifi, I was able to post the
prior 6 days of travel. While I was blogging, Linda took a walk down the inlet
and watched the birds and the fisherman.
Looks like there is a lot to catch here!!
We then spent the day driving both freeways and smaller
coastal roads as we made our way up the Pacific coast, with bizarrely, the
ocean to our right as we drove north. It
truly seemed like it should be the Atlantic to our right…to the east. We drove along wide sand spits where here
were parking lots and then a short walk over the dunes to the ocean. Was this North Carolina? Delaware?
We stopped at Elizabeth Beach at Booti Booti National
Park. The water was warm and shallow,
and the sand like golden powder. Booti
Booti is Aborginal for “plenty of honey”, likely referring to the sand. Failing to see any other “booti booti” of
interest, we moseyed on up the coast.
We camped for the night at Arakoon National Park, just near
the small seaside town of Southwest Rocks.
Our camp spot was on the ocean’s edge and under the rocky bluff of the
Trial Bay Gaol. And there was a wonderful calm, shallow beach just around the
corner.
A wild lorikeet!

Roos!
A Norfolk pine, a very cool tree.
We camped down on this road...
