The last couple of days been getting ready to head off and spend some time at Gowrie Park and Cradle Mountain, so baking and preparing meals, makes life easier when you dont have good weather and facilities. This park is awesome, the owners are Shelley and Geoff, so obliging, clean and well set out park. This is a 40 min drive to Cradle, so worked in good, we left the van here.

Cabins up the back, toilets and showers in the middle and backpackers cabins and bbq area in the end.

Had a quiet day today, staying with friends, did a walk around the point at White Beach, hoping for a nice sunset but it didn’t happen, so this is all I have to share.

Friday 19th July
Went for a drive to checkout Shipstern Bluff track, found it and as it was early afternoon decided to do the walk to lookout only, we had the necessary water and bars, 1.5 km later we got there, time wise it was slow as pretty steep in places. Was to dangerous to go to Bluff as there’s been a lot of rain and marked off.
