On our way to Merimbula yesterday we swung into Haycocks Road and went to the Beach. The road was in average conditions apart from some well beyond average potholes as we turned off the bitumen. The beach was brilliant.
Some patterened rocks behind the beach.
Peering over a rocky point at the end of the beach we also found it was the end of the track.
Frances recalled seeing a track off somewhere as she came through the picnic area and we soon found it when we both looked. Its pretty cleared in this snip from eBird track.
When we got to the end of the track the Cormorants (Great and Black-faced) were lined up like the Zulus at Rourke's Drift.
The ledge they are sitting on is on the RHS of the rocky knob.
I am currently re-reading Patricia Wrightson's Nargun series. much of the action of which is actually set between about here and about Bemm River. Pick your Nargun from this lot (remembering that the oldest Nargun is less than hand-sized
2 Sooty Oystercatchers on the side of the knob
An Eastern Reef Egret picks its Nargun.
An Old Man Banksia (
B. serrata) covers the ground.
A sign of the times. They did have a good supply left.
