Baby Boomers On The Road

Had a couple of days at Inverloch big4 and caught up with my Mum and one brother. Had another look around now the de-sal work has finished and found many houses for sale. They vary of course, right across the board. Inverloch too, has several nice houses for sale and they also have matching price tags.Just love that coastline. from the first time you catch glimpses of that dramatic vista over the sandhills at Kilcunda and on further to cape patterson and finally to inverloch with the ever decreasing point smythe  on the other side of Andersons Inlet slowly but surely filling the inlet. It's hard to imagine that when my father was a boy, ships used to sail into Inverloch to the original jetty taking Outtrim coal out, from about where the Big4 park is now. He said there was a crane on the end of the jetty and kids would climb it to dive into the deep water there.

On through Meeniyan, Fish Creek to Waratah Bay where the caravan park is located in Freycinet street.We have been going there for many years but we only took a cabin. we had a favourite that you could actually see the condition of the sea from our bed.The crimson Rosellas come to greet you and bags of parrot food can be bought from the small shop.Hand feeding can be done with confidence as the birds are cheeky enough to allow this.Fishing has always enticed me at Waratah and with only 23 steps from the top of the steps to the beach, why would I resist. This time though, fishing was not the drawcard. We went for R & R and that's exactly what we got. Nice to re=kindle the relationships once again with park managers and just chew the fat about the area, industry and future.

We asked my brother in law and wife to come over as they had just purchased a new van. They were planning a shake down trip with friends to Lochsport but all decided that Waratah was a better option. We had a good catch up there as well.
People behind us, German visitors joined us for happy hour and were very interesting to talk to.

Kay and Elke were fascinated to see the Koalas just behind our camp and still within the park.
