Day 42 – 24th February 2018 – Torbay Inlet near Albany

We packed up the fishing gear and thought we would go for a drive around to Shelly Beach and try and find a good spot to fish.  Unfortunately it was just too windy, so settled on exploring instead.

The first place we checked out was Cosy Corner Beach and Campsite.  This is a free camp and looked like a great spot.  It is popular though, so may be full when you arrive.  There are toilets and a dump point there, but no hose.  There is a beautiful day spot too – Cosy Corner West, and they have lots of shaded tables and chairs and BBQs, if you are looking for a place to spend the day.

We then drove onto the Cape Howe National Park, another beautiful spot to check out.  On the way in I saw this tree and it caught my eye so had to get a photo.

We checked out Shelly Beach and there was another good camp spot there but no caravans allowed.  It is a bit open to the elements though as there is no protection on the beach front.

Col found this critter when he went to the toilet.  Glad it was him and not me this time!  Even though he is pretty cute.  I would rather not share the toilet block with him.

We then went down another sandy track and got to a point where we thought we should pull the pin.  It got to a really steep section that was very soft, so we turned around, let the tyres down and headed back.  It was an interesting drive though.

There are these beautiful orange flowers dotted all around the landscape here.  Some are so bright, they really stand out.  They look a little like a bottle brush.
