Well... What a trip.

You can get to Cape P via the beach (15 minutes) OR if ya mad keen you can take the Inland Track (anywhere up to 2 hours) after ya pull each other in and out of bogs with boats on etc. The three times I've been here we have taken the inland track there and hit the beach home. All three times have been the same as this. The 80 loves it!!

Can't understand why the bride wouldn't get out!!

Beautiful Beach Camps. It was awful waking up to this each morning

One let down was that I forgot the crab pot bait Embarrassed

& by the time we had caught enough fish to bait them up it was getting late afternoon and the Pork had priority. The pots didn't even hit the water Cry

We ate like kings

Spag Bol Saturday night

And the Roast Pork spread & Golden Syrup Dumplings Sunday night

We didn't forget breakfast. How good are the 20" Skillets?

Some snaps from the lookout:
That's the little beach we where camped at.

Righteo, I'm getting carried away with the photos.

Hope you enjoy em
Jono

Lots of small stuff about, few catties and not much else. We didn't try real hard though. It was more of a kick back weekend. It seemed every one we talked to where struggling to catch a crab/fish as well.

Your Suzi would be fine going up the beach. It has timber slats on and off the beach.

Muzz.

Two of the camping grounds have Pit toilets only, However both these camps where chockers with people. One of them is on the Eastern side of the point which cops a beaut South Easterly (No good to me) As we drove through a scud was going through and all the campers where trying to hold down camp. The other is on the mouth of a creek just around and behind that beach we were camped on, Its probably the pick of em on a quiet weekend. It has a timber slatted boat ramp with large grassed areas for the bigger camps. We had a top spot for the amount of people that were there. Very Nice.

Terrific pics Jono, my bride would'a gone ballistic if I'd put my 'Cruiser in the same situation as yours in the first two photos. No sense of humour !

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd
