5/01/12 This morning we headed to the most southerly point of Australia. The End of the Road! There were sheltered bays with old yachts & fishing boats sitting calmly on the water. Cockle Creek is really nice. There is a few fishing huts down here, it is quite isolated. Once we were at the end of the road, we had to walk 7.7km one way to South Cape Bay. The track was made up of rainforest areas, beautiful big ferns, then opened to flat waist high peat swamp. As the weather changes so quickly here, we were constantly removing & adding layers! What a wild ocean it was, Freezing gusty winds welcomed us as we walked out onto the cliff. The walk took us 4 hours. Sore legs & hungry when we got back. At 3pm we had lunch at Australia’s most southern pub. It was good!
