Everyone had a slow start to the day – it was great to have a leisurely cooked brekky….

Trev, Matt and Sharon with our assistance then reorganised the site so Gordie could reverse his van onto our group site as well and we would all use his site opposite as a carpark due to its awkward slope.

Trev put the drone up to check out the local area a bit more… it was an impressive sight with the rugged limestone coastline, azure waters, white sandhills and red dirt….

The sandhills looked like soft serve icecream!!

The campsite looked neat from the air….

We all jumped into the cars to go and explore a bit more… first stop the sandhills… which were spectacular and gave a great view of the coast from the top of them with Milligan’s Island in the distance…

…..and also provided some fun for those who were still children at heart!

 Further along the track was a dirt road leading to the beach in front of Milligan’s Island, so we stopped and took some more pics… there was also a lot of seaweed washed up on the beach which was a shame…

The coastline is ruggedly beautiful here and the swell had certainly picked up as there were breaking waves very visible along the reef which lines this coast…

At Point Louise there was a couple of guys out surfing and someone on a stand-up paddleboard – but they were a long way out….

The limestone cliffs were very crumbly but provided some great photo opportunities…

As there was still a lot of seaweed on the beach there, we drove around to Green Head in the hope of a swim at Dynamite Bay.

Green Head was a lovely little township – and Dynamite Bay would have been perfect for a swim except for the SEAWEED!!!!

While we were there Klaus got talking to an “old mate” who was a wildlife photographer….taking a leaf out of Trev and Gordie’s have-a-chat book…..

We had a call from Gordie while there – they were coming into Milligan Island Eco Camping Node at about 1300 so we grabbed a quick coffee at the local café and then drove back to the campground…

It was great to see Gordie and Kerry… now the entire group are back together and looking forward to this next leg of the journey…

Trev, Gordie and I went for a quick swim at the front beach this afternoon – the water was a great temperature, but it was a bit weedy…. Nevertheless, it was great to get into the sea!

We had decided to cook a communal roast for dinner tonight, so everyone spent the rest of the day preparing food and relaxing around camp….
