Herron Point

Day 62 - Herron Point

Herron Point, Pinjarra, Herron Point

Thursday, 21 March 2013
Had breakfast and a walk and then packed up and drove to Pinjarra. There is a "large variety of community services and businesses in Pinjarra which makes this town a thriving community and an iconic attraction for visitors". I did some shopping, had a look around the town and then drove back to Herron Point.

Set up camp in a different spot with more shade. Tuka and I for a walk along the beach and looked at birds out on the estuary. It was low tide and calm so plenty of birds in the shallows and sand islands. I counted fify pelicans and thirty black swans. Also saw an Osprey perched on a dead tree.

After lunch I put the kayak together. Ready to go paddling when the wind came up and made the calm water choppy and mot very pleasant for kayaking. Instead went for walk and saw forty pelicans flying in a V formation about a metre above the water.

Decided to eat the rest of the crabs in the late afternoon. Tuka and I enjoyed the feed. In the evening Graham and Neil invited me over to their camp to drink port and talk. Tuka and I went over and I drank port while Tuka ate snacks and we listened to tales of their work and 4WD camping adventures.
