Port Lincoln and Lincoln National Park
This morning we didn’t wake up until 8am, which is very late
for us. We eventually headed to Port
Lincoln to enjoy the views from Winter Hill Lookout and the Old Mill.
We then drove to Lincoln National Park.
Our first walk was the Stamford Hill Loop
Walk, which gave great views over Boston Bay and towards Port Lincoln. We also saw some remains of old wells from
when the area was worked by woodcutters and graziers. We then walked to Surfleet Cove and out to
Surfleet Point. This was very
picturesque, with beautiful clear water over beds of seagrass.
Our next destination was Cape Donnington
Lighthouse. This is a popular fishing
spot, and if the amount we saw caught in the time we were there is any
indication, a very good one. From here,
we could see across the water to Donnington Island, where there were large
numbers of sea birds, as well as sea lions basking on the rocks.
We then drove back to Port Lincoln and had a
look at the trawlers in the marina – they are big boats, but not when I compare
them with the Southern Ocean and all its power.
