Tiger Snakes and Blowholes

We reluctantly departed the opulent facilities at Ocean Beach for the more austere facilities at Parry Beach. As usual, the "Camp Full" sign was out, but we drove in and found a spot pretty quickly. It did involve some tight reversing, dodging the peppermint trees.

Campsite at Parry Beach

Parrys is a great campsite. It is on the Bibbulmun Track and can accommodate large rigs. There are solar heated showers, flushing toilets, and fresh water suitable for showering (not potable without boiling). The canopy provided by the peppermint trees provides fantastic shade and you are only one row of dunes behind Mazzoletti Beach.

On arrival, one of the other campers informed us that we had a tiger snake for company that was resident in the scrub beside our campsite (probably why it was vacant). Not to worry - I have an angry shovel.

We headed into Albany after setting up camp so Doris could make a hair appointment for the following week - a bit of pampering in the midst of camping. We stopped at the Brig Amity for lunch and then headed for the Torndirrup Peninsula to visit The Gap, The Natural Bridge, The Blowholes, Stony Hill and the Salmon Holes before heading back to Parrys.

Pretty stuffed by the end of the day, so a couple of episodes of Coupling then off to bed.
