First we drove to Walker’s Point to do the Melaleuca Track – this took us through a variety of microclimates: mangroves, salt pan, paperbark forest, palm groves and sand dune. There were several areas where there had been “hot’ fires through in the last season or two. We had morning tea at Burrum River Campground; a pretty spot by the ocean. Back at Walker’s Point we had a look at the inlet and across toward Burrum Heads.

Banksia Park in Woodgate Beach was today’s lunchtime picnic spot.
The Boardwalk and Banksia Track were next. We saw several small wildflowers including carrot top and prickly leaved paperbark. There were lots of Banksias, but unfortunately most of them had been badly burnt.

We then drove to the mouth of Theodolite Creek and had a swim before heading back to Woodgate Beach for hamburgers and chips on the beach.

A tiring but
pleasant day.
