Coffin Bay

When we returned the wind was too strong to put out the awning,

 but in the tree above the Technicolour Terrorists were putting on an acrobatic display.

The following day we again visited Golden Island Lookout.

Once again the seas were coming in from both sides, a spectacular sight !

A juvenile Pacific Gull soared past , as he flew above....

A mob or gaggle (?) of Cape Barren Geese just below the cliff.

Then out to the Coffin Bay Dunes.

Aboriginal legend tells that the large drifting sand dunes were named by the ancestral tribesmen 

Marnpi & Tatta. A great fire came from the ocean & spread across the land endangering 

the Aboriginal livelihood. Marnpi & Tatta decided to quench the fire by burying it,

and the great sand dunes resulted from this endeavour. 

It was quite a run down that slope !!!!

Quite a site and a cacophony in the trees above.

An Australian Hobby in the tree was being harassed by a bunch of Galahs...

When he eventually gave in to their efforts they followed him screeching for quite a distance. 

Up on the Slip Way was this old boat in for a clean up.

And what Coffin Bay is famous for rows & rows of Oyster Beds.
