This is the area that I previously mentioned, Wilsons Prom. This is where the Melbournian families come to escape the heat of Melbourne. It is a National Park, that has caravan, camping facilities, mosquitos by the trillion and about the same number of sand flies.... Stephen is still suffering 10 days later. Needless to say that the weather followed us and it turned mighty hot..Stephen and I had managed to get a powered site which was a godsend.
Tidal River, the area were the camp sites are, is a lovely spot, very well laid out with a bridge and boardwalks all over.
This is the safe beach at Norman Bay, we spent a fair amount of time in the water, even though everyone had said that the southern ocean was too cold... it was great. My arm did a turn on me when I had been body surfing for the first time in years.
We had met up with Alan & Alys again and on the first morning (before it got to hot) we walked out to Pillar Point. The view behind us is another shot of the Norman Bay. That night it was very hot and A & A decided to go home and try and save their plants. We stayed on and with the help of the aircon, and the Australian Open on TV we managed.
To keep cool we also went for a drive up to The Saddle, (one of the highest spots), no walking though toooooooo hotttttt. We did however go for a walk down to Whiskey Beach and spied this Rastafarian with attitude, whipping his huge head of hair from side to side, with water going everywhere.
