We woke this morning (or in my case, got up this morning cause I’m pretty sure I didn’t get any sleep last night) before sunrise and enjoyed the morning colours from the swag. While the swag is very comfy, it is certainly not a tent and there is not even enough height to sit which does make it very difficult to finish a blog on the computer once the fire is finished and it’s freezing and windy outside. This trip may mark the end of my very brief swagging life….

After a cooked brekky of French toast, we went out for one last walk around the bluff before it was time to pack up. The bay filled up with mum and bub humpbacks just after breakfast and I got a single photo with 5 whales all breaking the surface at once! No breaches though.

We packed up and were on the road by around 1130 and beelined straight to Quobba Point to check out the blowholes. We bumped in to Jase and Sue there so picked up some lunch from the food van and enjoyed it with them. The blowholes are really very impressive. We weren’t there at the optimum tide but they were all still pumping!

The surrounding coast is just mesmerising, with the force of the waves creating amazing waterfalls across the rocks.

Quobba Point is also known for snorkelling at ‘The Aquarium’, and although we had our gear with us it was just too windy for Bob and I to venture in. The dunes had some lovely wildflowers really starting to take off though.

We said goodbye to Jase and Sue and stopped at the King Waves Kill iconic sign for the obligatory photo (feature photo), before heading back to the van.

This afternoon we have done a repack after our little camping expedition. We were treated to a mum teaching her calf to breach outside the van window over and over at sunset. By the time I got the camera the best was over, but it still kept going on. Such a great way to end our time in this part of the world.

Today the Scotts have moved through to Gascoyne Junction where the rest of us will meet them tomorrow. They have also enjoyed the emerging wildflowers on their travels.
