Day 41 - Quagi Beach to Millers Point
Quagi Beach, Ravensthorpe, Jerramungup, Millers PointThursday, 28 February 2013
Packed up and said goodbyes to Terri and Paul and the other campers.
I headed off for the short trip of 200km to Millers Point. Drove past malleee scrub, woodlands, pastures with a few sheep in them, stubble-filled fields, grain silos and mines. Signs said to be on the lookout for malle fowl but I didn't see any. Another sign said we were entering the Fitzgerald Biosphere. Stopped at Ravensthorpe for milk, bread, fruit and vegies and then 70km later at Jerramungup to give Tuka a walk.
Turned off the highway at Boxwood Hill and 17km turned onto a corregated dirt road that took us the camping ground at Millers Point. No set camp sites with three caravans set up in the lee of the point because of the wind. I found a sheltered spot with easy access to the water for Tuka. Unfortunately the edge is muddy sand. The point overlooks Beaufort Inlet, a large area of water with plenty of birdlife.
It is very windy. I was thinking of kayaking but there are waves in the inlet. I would have a fast kayak NW but would be unable to get back to the van.
