Conto’s Campground to Redgate Beach by the Cape to Cape
Track
This morning we packed down and then walked from Conto’s
Campground to Redgate Beach via the Cape to Cape Track. The walk begins along the cliff top and gives
spectacular views over the water and beaches.
There are still a substantial number of wildflowers on display – it must
be very colourful in wildflower season.
The water again looked beautiful and clear with amazing volumes of water
moving with each swell. The track wound through quite close vegetation in
places, and under windswept gnarled trees in others. The track had a short section that was very
steep – requiring the use of a chain to safely descend this on the return
journey. Bob’s Hollow and Grotto were
limestone cliffs that people were abseiling down and quite pitted with
caves.
Redgate Beach was again
beautiful, with the southern end having a number of crystal clear rock holes
and the ocean showing its power as it crashed into the outer rock island. Today there were learn to surf classes on at
the beach.
We had a picnic lunch at Conto’s campground and then drove to Busselton. We have checked in to Busselton Villas and Caravan Park for the next three nights. Busselton has many caravan parks and yet several are around the $65 per night for mid-week – the dearest we have come across. After setting up, we took a walk along the beautiful beach of Busselton.
