Day 32 – 14th February 2018 – Lucky Bay

Happy Valentines day everyone!

We decided to go for a hike today from Lucky Bay to Thistle Cove. It was an interesting 5km round trip walk, hilly and rocky with some spectacular views.

We kept our eyes peeled for thistles, but didn’t find any.  Then read the plaque at Thistle Cove and it was named after a person.  So there are no thistles at Thistle Cove.

The photo below is a little deceptive, as this is how the hike starts, on a nice path.   The path does become rock, but that did keep the walk interesting.  It covers different terrain and is an enjoyable trek.

Once we got to Thistle Cove we stopped for a picnic lunch, sitting on the rocks overlooking the beach and then hiked back again.  This was our view.

We saw quite a few lizards, but thankfully no snakes!  Lots of beautiful flowers around.
