We departed Shannon and left those wretched march flies behind. It was such a shame as the campground and general area is fantastic. We just happened to be there in that few weeks where a plague occurred. Such is life.
It was an easy 2 hour drive to Ocean Beach Caravan Park in Denmark. What a fantastic facility. New ablutions block including new laundry equipment, nice shady sites and the best fed kangaroos around. Some of the bucks were enormous. Kookaburras all over the place. At $30 per night for the two of us, it was at the rich end of the scale, but well worth the $$$.
Ocean Beach Caravan Park
We stayed there to take the opportunity to have 240V power and charge everything up as well as have a nice hot shower and do some washing.
I spotted a sandy track near the caravan park and we decided to investigate. It wasn't signposted at all, but lead us to a timber stairway which descended to a beach we later identified as Back Beach. The stairway seems to be unmaintained. Perhaps this was originally meant to be on the Bibbulmun Track, but has been bypassed? Not sure, but it is a lovely beach not far from lights Beach.
Back Beach
We went for a twilight stroll around Wilson Inlet which turned into a bit of a mission. We ended up walking a lot further than we intended and made it back to the trailer just after dark. We did get to witness seagulls sourcing food naturally in shallow pools at the inlet. They do a bizarre kind of tap dance, I assume to get small crabs to surface, so they can grab them. I'm just used to seeing these flying rats begging for food, so it painted them in a different light to see them hunting for food in the natuarl way.
Margaritas as usual and watched some videos. Moving on to Parry Beach tomorrow.
