Monday 4th May

Well we went for a drive out to Dip Falls and then spent some time in the bush, then on our way home called into Edgecombe  beach, weather was turning bad.

 I found it fascinating how the farmers make dips in the paddocks to hold the water, smart really.  View of The Nut at Stanley from our drive back out from Dip falls  Car park and picnic area at Dip falls  Viewing platform of the falls   This is the view, they are so big couldn’t get the falls all in.  Bottom half of the falls  152 steps down to the bottom to see the lower part of the falls, yes we did it.  Lower falls, lighting was not good .Note the rocks are a basalt.  Now the 152 steps back up.  Outside the honey place on the Dip falls road, beautiful colours.  A wee tractor at the junction of a road.  Rocks and some of the colours, lots of these sort of rocks up this coast, all being used for geological studies.  This is where we have been camping, its free around the back on one side, and for power on the other side its $10 a night + $3 for showers and toilets, deposit for key which you get back when you hand the key in. Very lovely meals as well with specials on most nights of the week. Sun setting with a storm coming at Port Latta in the mid  ground and The nut in the back ground. this was at Edgecombe  beach.
