Yesterday we stayed at Jurien Bay campsite again... the rules were different but I won't bore you with the detail...
It was our last day with the castlemaine kid, so we thought we had better make the most of it. Leaving the trundle at the camp site and using the cruise mobile we headed off to the Mount Lesueur National park for a walk.
The weather was perfect.. equating to a lovely summers day back in the UK... prepping us for next week- and it was a pleasant walk up the mesa known as Mount Lesueur. Halfway up we disturbed a wallaby who was probably having a nap and he popped his head up for a good look at us interlopers.. he is in this picture bt even I can't find him...

The climb to the flat plateau wasn't a difficult walk, sandy clear paths and once through the dense, quite - if you are me- high shrubs, the view from the lookout on the top was superb - A vast undulating area of bush leading into some wheat fields right across to the sea.
Driving through the 'scenic' route out of the park we spotted two more wallabies crossing the road - our ratio of live spots to road kill continues to be vastly improved
For tea we sat on the sea front with fish and chips and a bottle of fizz - and then had a short walk down the pier... we have had such a geat time with the Castlemainers.. really missed the full complement this last few days - c'est la vie...
We almost got into the swing of aussie time now.. early to bed and up (for us) shockingly early 🤣🤣. Those of you that know us will be amazed to discover we are rarely in bed - and I mean we are actually dressed by 8.00 am!!! However I think the fizz and nightcap gin and tonics got the better of us and we were slightly later than usual... we waved the cruise mobile off.. and once again trundled back down the Great Ocean Highway towards our last night in the van.
We find ourselves back in Guilderton - we didn't stay here before but we liked the sleepy place where the Moore river meets the sea.. the sand bank with the pelicans fishing.
Its much cooler this time but the pelicans dont seem to mind and we have donned our UK clothes on to watch the sun set on last time over the Indian ocean.
It didn't amount to much.. in fact it looks even better on the photograph...
Aww it sounds like you've had a great trip. Can't believe it's 9 weeks! 😲 Enjoy your last few days and hope the journey back is ok. The UK 'spring' is waiting to welcome you home 😁 xx
