| Wineglass Bay |
I decided to start the day with a run along
Bicheno’s Foreshore Footway. While this
turned out not to be particularly suitable for running it was a beautiful
walk. Governor Island appeared to be
covered in birds – I will need to take Hayden to see this.
Freycinet National Park is a little over thirty
minutes away. It is beautiful! We
hiked up and up to the Wineglass Bay Lookout, across a ridge in The
Hazards. We then hiked down to Wineglass
Bay where Hayden enjoyed a paddle near the rocks at the edge of the beach and
watching the kelp move backwards and forwards in the waves. The water was extremely clear and clean. Next, we walked the low lying Isthmus Track,
past a large reed filled lagoon where we could hear many individual frogs calling
from many different directions. We
reached Hazards Beach which had the same crystal clear water as Wineglass Bay,
but instead of a white sand beach, it was a coarsely ground shell covered in
drying kelp and oyster shells – it had its own distinctive smell! We stopped
for a picnic lunch on rocks near Fleurieu Point. By the time we got back along the Hazards
Beach Track I was actually very hot! Yes, HOT!
12.5km in 3.5 hours plus stops.
I think we will all go to bed early tonight!
