YORK PENINSULA CONT…..

 

Our first stop is a little fishing point which is apparently known as millionaires row called Black Point. The beach is calm & safe.  Great for launching boats, cruising around and generally having a fun time.  As usual the wind gets up in the afternoon.  We cooled the boat down and caught a feed of calamari. $20 for a powered site(only 12 sites) & a free washing machine!!  Right on the beach, Black Point is a great spot.  Stayed for 3 nights.

I got inked!

The roads are long & straight. Can’t believe how dry it is here.  We turned off the highway onto a smooth dirt road to arrive at Hillocks Drive, Butlers Beach.  This is a huge homestead which  allow campers to stay & explore this beautiful secluded place.  We wondered why it is not part of Innes National Park as it is just as nice.  Even pulled out the hammock(then lots of memories came back.)

YES, WE CAUGHT A FISH!  A 50cm Australia Salmon.  There are only 2 other people here. We have the beach to ourselves, just the way we like it.

Sunday 19th we headed into the Innes National Park.  It is easy to drive around and see everything.  Headed home to try and catch more salmon.
