Day 64 1st October Streaky Bay to Baird Bay

DAY 64

1st October
Streaky Bay to Baird Bay


Not a long way to travel today so cooked brekky and headed off to do some loops around the area. First Cape Bauer loop. Saw Cape Bauer, Whistling Rocks, Blowholes and Hallys Beach. The coastline varied in every stop some spectacular scenery.

We have seen dozens of little lizards on and crossing the road I think it is their mating season. Some don’t make it across the road unfortunately, Nev has been dodging them all morning so decided to befriend one!!

Next we did Westall Way Loop past Taylors Beach, High Cliff, Point Westall, Granites and Smooth Pool. Great scenery and a very blue ocean to look at.

We drove down to Sceale Bay for lunch and had a great table looking straight out over the water, very nice.

Drove a bit further around one side of Baird Bay to Point Labatt where there is a sea lion colony. From the lookout you can see dozens of sea lions some mothers and young suckling and others frolicking and others lazing in the sun. Amazing to see so many in their natural environment.

Drove around Baird Bay to the tiny township to camp the night. $10 honesty box to camp with an awesome view of the bay. Walked along the beach, scared the pelicans and saw lots of crab claws that the birds must have eaten the crabs.  4 other couples are here a bit windy and cold but very quiet!
