Margaret Rivermouth, Eagles Heritage Wildlife Centre, Lake
Cave and Redgate Beach
This morning we started the day with a visit to the Karri forest just south of Conto’s Campground – it is amazingly pretty, like something from a fairy-tale.
We then set
off to explore the Margaret Rivermouth area and watched some of a surfing competition
at Surfer’s Point. The coastline here
was once again stunning. 
We then met the Turnbull’s at Eagles Heritage Raptor Wildlife Centre – the kids all loved this, with both boys being big fans of birds of prey. The flying display included the opportunity to have a Masked Barn Owl (called Ivy) to sit on your arm. 
We then went back to camp to have lunch, before heading to Lake Cave for a guided tour. This was a long way down – 68m!
In the bottom of the cave is a lake and suspended above the lake is a platform held to the roof by two pillars – a most unusual formation. It was a picturesque cave with beautiful formations. Hayden was very excited to have his photo taken with Brad Hogg (cricketer who happened to be on the tour) after the tour.
To
finish the day, we visited Redgate Beach – finally, finally some body
surfing! The water was cool, but not
freezing, and the waves were very ridable without dumping. The sand on the beach here was incredibly
soft as well and again, beautiful beach to look at. What a great way to finish the day!
