Hi Folks,
A warm sunny day so we chose to do "THE" walk here, which is to the Wineglass Bay lookout. We travelled beyond the manicured path to the lookout and down onto Wineglass Bay beach, across the Isthmus track to Hazard Beach and then back to the car park. Total distance 12.5km in 5.5 hours. The walk is dominated by the granite rocks with of course the highlight being the view from the lookout. I will let the pictures and videos speak for themselves. They are all from my new "hiking" camera, which had an unceremonious journey in an old bum bag. I need a case so i can either carry it around my neck or preferably on my belt.
Tomorrow the plan is to climb Mount Amos a short hard walk assuming we are not too sore from today. Dinner tonight was from the camp oven albeit cooked on the gas stove.
The funny moment of the day was travelling back to the last campsite to search for a dessert spoon since we could only find one this morning. I had to explain this to the people on the site. I did find the spoon. I obviously chucked it into the bush with the washing up water. At least we don't have to have breakfast in shifts now. We used to have 4 and are thinking we may have left 2 at Woodbridge. The compose mode for the blog has lead to this rather odd looking layout. I do have some panoramic shots to add but the stitching program is not co-operating at the moment so a couple of hiccups to overcome but not tonight.

Cheers Simon
