Robe - 29-05-13

Got up  early this morning to another fantastic sunrise.  I don't see this at home so it's quite incredible to watch it from the balcony here.

The weather was a bit dull today, quite a bit of wind early on.

We had a relaxing day today, walked to our lake (only about 100 metres), then drove to the 10 mile beach and walked along it for a bit.  This beach can be driven on, no need for a 4wd.  There are notices at the beginning informing drivers that standard road rules apply.  Drove back to  the obelisk (walked there yesterday) and took a different path across the cliff tops.  This one was bitumen and nice to walk on.  This brings to mind a chat on the SA radio.  There is a strong push by interested groups to have the Tanami track paved, this is a serious push and may well happen.  I can see their point of view, but there are many 4wders who will be very sad to see this iconic remote track become civilised.

Went to Mahalia's for coffee.  Mahalia has a roasting house and is well known in this part of Aus, apparently she can't break into the Vic market as yet, but her coffee is excellent.

Had a quiet afternoon reading, then drove to West Beach to watch the sunset.  While this was impressive,
the dawn is far more so.

Went to Sails for tea - very nice food and wine.

Off to Victor Harbour tomorrow.
