5 FEBRUARY
MALLACOOTA
We departed Bermagui
for Mallacoota.
Along the way, it
rained heavily. We stopped at Tathra, where the sun was shing to check the sun
and have lunch.
We eventually reached
Mallacoota, booked a camp site and settled in.
What an inspiring view
over the inlet that was dotted with islands which were surrounded by channels.
The beach was to the east and a low mountain range to the north.
We cycled our bikes
around town and checked out Bastion Point and Tip Beach. The former was a long
beach ending in the south with a manmade harbour big enough to launch two
boats. The latter was another long beach which was more exposed to the swell.
It was a good ride.
Back at camp we had a
short rest then a walk along the waterfront. We sat on a small jetty and ate
snacks while admiring the view.

A bit of a sleep in.
We hiked the Double
Creek nature walk and inlet walk. About 3km.
The first loop was
through rainforest and thick vegetation. The bush had recovery from recent fires
but there was evidence in burnt trees and new secondary growth. There were also
a number of birds that made a ding sound. They were foraging in the lower tree
growths. We crossed the main road and followed a track to the inlet. It ran
parallel with a creek and at times we had good views of its tranquil nature.
The end of the track was low salt bush growth and great views of the inlet and
small islands.
After a snack, we
drove to Bastion Point. The surf looked okay with one guy out. I paddled out
and had a fun time with heaps of waves for the first hour and then to wind
increased and turned onshore. I belly boarded to shore. Haha.
Back at camp, we had
an easy afternoon.
