After leaving the camping we drive down various spots along the various peninsula’s here to look for a good kite spot. Unfortunately the combination of wind, location and time (no dogs allowed between 10 am and 6 pm) doesn’t work in our favour when we find a nice beach.
So we decide to cross the peninsula back and take the road north along the east coast and are surprised about how hilly and pretty it is while we follow the winding road up and down.
Then suddenly we see the ocean on our right and sheep on our left. So much ocean, so many sheep.
After a while the ocean turns into a bay and we can see the mountains of Freycinet National park.
Instead of driving all the way around to Coles Bay, we turn off at Nine Mile Beach and follow the road around the bay. Then we can see Coles Bay across the inlet.
It’s a nice spot right on beach sand which sounds idyllic and Dotti loves it. We decide to stay a few days here.
We go to the beach to dig holes…
…to make mandala’s…
…and to kite.
And we enjoy the scenery.
The weather turns quite bad and two days we have nothing but rain, which makes it hard to dry the kite.
It makes for nice pictures though.
When even the dogs find it too wet to lie on the ground we decide to move on.
Despite the weather and sand everywhere, a nice stay.
