After a very good sleep - (maybe the wine helped) we got up and had a leisurely breakfast at the van. As we had a couple of nights in one place we decided to let the Stranger have a rest today and go out on foot.
We walked along Elizabeth Beach round the headland to Boomerang Beach, where we sat and watched the surfers. We then headed into the small town centre to buy some crackers (for our brie) and visited the informtaion office, where we were shown a nice hike for the afternoon.After lunch at the van we put on our hiking boots and headed up towards Booti Booti National Park for our 7km hike. The climb upto the headland at the top of Elizabeth Beach was long and tough, but the views from the top did not disappoint. The next 2 kms were through thick bush, the entire distance spent looking out for snakes and spiders!
Then we rounded the headland to drop down onto Seven Mile Beach, and the Ruins Camp site. After a little rest and some photos we walked across the road to the Green Cathedral (an outside church) and then joined the trail that led us along the shores of Lake Wallis. On the way back to our camp ground Ben spotted an Echidna, but unfortunately it was camera shy.
Back at the van we made pasta, ricotta, spinach and mushrooms, and for dessert had cheese and crackers!
