Before we left, we took a walk along the beach right round the headland to the west until we had a view of the next big beach. The beach is backed by sandstone cliffs which show all the signs of the wild winter weather. We were accompanied by many Swallows, Galahs and some raptors, probably Brown Falcon. The Swallows obviously live in the holes in the cliffs but here they share these with Galahs which have no tree hollws to nest in.
We continue our progress to the south and visited Port Neill, a pretty little town with a pier and a pleasant park where we lunched.
We took to the coast road, even though is was gravel, trying to find some of the free camping places listed for this part of the world The first of these is Carrow Wells which is a few kilometres south of Port Neill and which was the source of fresh water for the town for the best part of a hundred years until the pipeline was put in. The site has been renovated by local volunteers and a big car park provides an opportunity to camp. We decided to press on to the next place listed but were unable to find it.
The maps we have are a bit wanting in detail here so we had no option but to go to Tumbu Bay and camp up in the caravan park. In the evening we drove into town to dine on King George Whiting and chips in the foreshore park.
