Report:
It was a stinking hot day on Tuesday and we hoped that the cooler weather forecast for Wednesday morning would arrive. It did. We had a coolish overcast morning but the cloud cover started to disappear in the afternoon. A perfect day for walking. We drove down in 2 cars and had a drink at the kiosk. We left one car there and then drove the 5-10 minutes to the lakes, stopping along the way to climb the hill with the fantastic view (ie back along the GSWW).
The walk is always interesting. I thought we might encounter a snake near the lakes – but that didn’t eventuate. Storms have washed away a lot of the beach sand near the cliff faces making it difficult for GSWW walkers to get off the beach. Since last doing the walk the wind turbines have sprouted as well as a house or two. The Springs campground now has a brand new 2-sided shelter with a picnic table and benches, and we had lunch there. There’s been a “recent” rockfall along the access path to the springs but Peter and I managed to get down to the springs for a look-see. There was plenty of water still trickling out of the rocks.
We saw many seals at the Cape and spent quite a bit of time observing them.
After another 45 minutes we reached the kiosk. We had a milkshake and then picked up the car and drove home. Thank you Peter and Rosalie for a great mid week walk!
