We packed up a wet camper and headed to the main carpark and headed off to the boardwalk for a quick look. Two hours later we returned to the car a lot colder after going up and doing the Tidal River Lookout walk. Thankfully the rain had held off whilst we were on the walk so we just had to contend with the bitterly cold wind.
After getting back to the car, we agreed to go and head to the take away and get a much needed hot chocolate, (first one for the trip) and Rena wanted an ice cream, I think that we could be in Antarctica and - 40 and she would still want an ice cream.
So 2 hot chocolates, 1 serve of fish and chips, 1 bucket of chips and Rena single cone ice cream ($26.50 later), but boy was the hot chocolate good. We sat outside to eat our chips and we had lunch guests. The local Rosella population have a thing for hot chips. They were even taking them from our hands as we were trying to put them in our mouths.
They say dont feed the local wildlife but they pinch it out of your hands/mouth :)
After our hot lunch we headed back to the car and off to Squeeky Beach.
We slowly progressed along all of the walks as we headed back out of the park. When we got to Whisky Beach we were all frozen and it was about 3.30pm so we decided that it was time to decide where we were going to camp for the night and head for it. Instead of walking down to the beach we just viewed it from the lookout and headed back to the car and onwards to our camp.
It was nice to get back in to a nice warm car, although James got stung on the foot by something so he now has a sore foot as well as being cold.
We headed for the Bass Valley Reserve and arrived at about 5.20 pm in grand style, James missed the entry so locked up all tyres and announced that we had arrived, then reversed back and drove in. Luckily there was only one other camper there. It was a quick set up and an even quicker dinner, reheated left overs and had them on toast, cooked in the setting sunlight.
Off to bed to get warm, more photos to process tonight, gosh the Prom was a beautiful spot, definitely could go back there and spend more time, would love to do the walk down to the light house but that would take a lot of prep work and someone to look after Rena for a couple of days whilst James and I did the walk. Don't think her poor little legs would cope.
