We needed to move on so we drove south to Northcliffe and called in to the visitors centre to find out what there was to see. We were sent to Windy Harbour in the D'Entrecasteaux National Park. The road goes through a great swampy area where the vegetation is quite different from the forest. There are still wild flowers but of different kinds.
When we reached Windy Harbour we found a tiny village set behind sand dunes and with single lane gravel roads. There was only one place where we could turn the Motley round so we quickly found ourselves leaving the town back the way we had come.
Jean wasn't feeling too good so we stopped in Northcliffe for coffee and booked in to one of the two caravan parks. The first was very cheap but without any redeeming features and the second was set in bushland with resident kangaroos and alpacas. One of the birds we saw in the park was a beautiful blue Splendid Wren, a species we don't see in the eastern states.
We spent a quiet afternoon and a peaceful night.
