This was another quiet day. A bit of walking along the sea shore, rock hopping. But also a lot of quiet reading and game playing. We enjoyed watching the tide come in and go out. It was shallow for a long way out and low tide revealed many rocks, not sand. Walking at low tide was fun, but slow! We also enjoyed watching the birds cope with the tide coming in: moving where they were perched as their own particular "rock" became submerged. To our surprise there were many pelicans in the area also, always magnificent birds to spot!
The campground. Lots of lovely trees and space. |
So many rock pools. It would be a fun, but slightly dangerous place to bring inquisitive kids. |
Tide is out. In the distance is Robbins Is, the cattle farm. |
The parallel lines on these rocks were repeated in many places, but hard to capture in a photo. Geologists have a lot to study in Tasmania! |
There were thousands of these tiny crabs at low tide! |
One of the eroded rocks, looked so cool. |
Pelicans |
You can see we were parked very close to the shore’s edge. |
Another angle on where we were parked. It took ages to pick our way across this at low tide on foot, I was so surprised to see how little distance we’d actually covered. |
