We said our goodbyes
then loaded up the van and headed in the Eden direction. The weather was very
hot and around Buchan it started to rain very hard. We eventually decided to
stay at Cape Conran in the National park camp.
We had a swim on the beach and I played on very tiny waves
with my surfboard.
16th January 2014 Thursday
I was up for the sunrise on the beach. It was very pretty
with the possibility of waves with some more size.
Next, was a bike ride along Swampy Creek track, the
powerline trail and the road that lead to Yeerung River. The Swampy Creek track was the best flowing
amongst the trees and bushes.
Distance - 8.37km
Time – 40 mins
Av speed – 12.6 km/h
Max speed – 26.1 km/hElevation range – 21m
On return Jacinta awoke and I went for a short swim on the
beach. Waves were small but looking good. I had a quick breakfast and off to
the waves I went. I had an hour of fun surf until the tide and wind changed.
We drove to Marlo for petrol. The girl serving there had
lived there all her life though the lack of
work was a big problem. It was a pretty place we the exit of the Snowy
River to the sea. From above, it was vibrant blue!
We journeyed on the West Cape and Salmon Rocks. Jacinta had
a bake on the beach and I had a fun snorkel amongst the kelp.
We continued from there to Yeerung River to a small picnic
area. We had lunch and launched the kayaks for a nice ride along the tannin coloured
water of the river. Towards the end there were heaps of submerged logs and low
log underpasses to kayak through and under. It was very pretty. At the end, I
had a swim in the river. Refreshing!
Distance – 3.12 km
Time – 47mins
