Day 72 Sunday 21st April 2013, Location: Bear Gully Reserve, Cape Liptrap Coastal Park

What a beautiful find, very well laid out campground and very good drop toilets.

The day was beautiful, so we packed up a dry camper and headed to the Cape Liptrap Lighthouse.

The road was a little corragated, but it was worth the bumps, what a truely beautiful coastline. The water was so clear and green and clean. You could see the bottom.

Back in the car and off to Wilson's Prom for a boo peep.

I decided to book a camp site for the night, once I saw what was on offer with the walking tracks I knew we wouldnt get them all in this afternoon. There is just so much to explore here. Warnings about wombats taken in, we dont have to worry as all our food is either locked in front box or in car, but even still, you need to make sure that you dont leave anything out here, the wombats will find it and if there is a door/fly in the way they will eat through it. (We saw evidence of this alter that night when a wombat had eaten through the under neath screened room of a roof top camper who hadnt headed the warning)

We quickly set up and then had an even quicker lunch before heading off on the eastern Conran Bay track. We made it to the lookout and then went to go around the corner to the bay and was greeted with a sign saying that the track was closed due to a planned burn, we we went just a tad further to get the pic of the bay and started heading back for camp. By this stage little miss 4 yr old was tired and hungry so we heard about it all the way back to camp.

The walk back was brisk but nice with the sun setting we took the beach back. Beautiful.

Whilst I cooked dinner I put a load of washing on $4 a load and Rena and James went wombat spotting. Rena saw quite a few wombats with James.

Dinner cooked and it was my turn to go wombat spotting, load of washing in dryer $3, so spotlight in one hand, Rena in the other we headed off, we got to see quite a number of wombats, a possum and a few rabbits as well as other wildlife.

Got back from wombat spotting and dryer still going, so time for bath for Rena, then got the clothes out of the dryer, couldnt believe it $3 and they were all dry.

Time for a nice hot shower and bed after looking at some photos.
