Jeff is heading back to work tomorrow so we decided to go for another hike in our attempt to get fitter (and leaner???) for our upcoming Overland adventure. So we tootled back over to Sisters Beach to walk over to Anniversary Bay
Perfect perfect perfect weather today!
Inviting waters and acres of beach. Still trying to work out why we hiked over hill & dale and rocky shores for 4 hours instead of swimming today!!
Instead of our usual circuit we continued walking up the coast – headed for our favourite shell collecting beach
As soon as you leave the sandy beach, rocky shores greet walkers. Its actually a tricky walk on unstable surfaces – in many parts jagged rocks to scramble over that pretty much say ‘don’t fall down’
The Overland Track will be a lot more straight forward than this!! At least they have formed paths!!
The colour and form of the rocks change several times as you walk up the coast.
We reached the stream that flows down from Doone Falls and soaked our bandannas to wear around our necks. The water was lovely and icy cold
Once we got to our spot we enjoyed searching for shells (we will find out tomorrow who collected the most cowries!)
Time to reluctantly turn back – and see it all from a different angle!
I don’t suppose it’s called Rocky Cape National Park for nothing…
Oh it was good to see those sandy beaches again!
Time to take off the boots and cool the feet down!
The paddle was quite invigorating, which was handy as we still had one hell of a hill to climb before we were done for the day!!
Hope your weekend was also fabulous!
Cheers!
Beautiful pictures! The water looks so inviting. Thank you for your blog. It’s been a rough couple of days for me, with what is going on nationally here. I look forward to ‘escaping’ to your corner of the world every morning.
Hi Julie! So pleased to be a bright spot in your day! Lovely to hear. Its nice to escape the worlds political madness for a while. xx
