Two days worth today , yesterday we enjoyed a beautiful sunny day , cleaning needed to be done , so we did just that , cleaned inside and then finished off polishing some of the parts of the van that we couldn’t reach . There was room beside us , so I could reverse close to the slide out and get onto the roof from the roof racks of the ute . With everything done except the roof ( major job ) , we had some lunch before heading down to the beach for a walk .
Not a lot else to report , as we had a relaxed afternoon watching all the boats get towed back into the park from their days fishing .
Saturday , the day started out okay but deteriorated rapidly . The winds started to pick up and the cloud rolled in , rain followed shortly after . We went for a drive out to Eagle Bluff , one of the best lookouts we’ve been to . Stopping at Denham lookout first , we headed down to the beach and the Thong Shack - a shelter that has been decorated with thongs , some with names and short stories on them , and from all corners of the world , and others just put up because they could ! The track down to the beach has been carved through the orange sand & soil , and is a contrast to the white sand .
Off to Eagle Bluff , last year we saw sharks , dolphins , manta rays and stingrays as well as lots of fish , today however , we were nearly blown off the walkway !! The water is still clear , but the wind chop meant seeing anything was impossible . You could see the seagrass beds and the areas with sand , but the rain that was coming put a stop to the sight seeing for the day , so we headed back into town for lunch .
The wind didn’t slow down , but the rain came and went a few times , not amounting to much at all . We will see what tomorrow brings .
