Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse with Seal Rock
Hannah wishing the romance of being a lighthouse keeper would be bestowed on her.
It was steep I tell you...
There was a trolley to the left of the picture which was used to pull up equipment to the lighthouse. I was half hoping Hannah would pull me up, but she made me walk.
Someone had been busy with a marker pen.
Seal Rocks. Originally they wanted to put the lighthouse on the furthest rock out to the left of the picture, but when they came round to looking at the small outcrop they couldn't make a landing with their boat even on a calm day so they scraped that idea.
Lighthouse Beach. Back in 1992, 47 False Killer Whales became beached on this beach. They were transported overland to Boat Beach (below) and 39 were successfully released two day later.
On the track from the car park to the lighthouse there were stunning views of two inlets which gushed with water, as the waves were funneled in.
Boat Beach. This is the view as we ate breakfast after the thunder storm.
Arrived at Seal Rock Camping Reserve in sunshine, however three hours passed and then a HUGE thunderstorm rolled in!!! It rained and rained, probably the heaviest rain I have ever experienced. Not a huge amount of thunder but none stop lightning, fork and sheet. Han and I turned off the lights in the van and watched it for ages
