This is the view over the Macleay River at southwest rocks. When hannah was talking to her mum for a while I sat and watched the sun set, but only thought about taking a photo once it had gone down.
Walking up Smokey Cape, towards the lighthouse. The cape was named by Captain Cook on 13th May 1770 due to the amount of smoke rising from the cape due to Aboriginal burn-off fires on the headland.

North Smokey Cape Beach (again) but this time hannah is in the photo eating her hair.
Trial Bay Gaol - Established in 1886, Trial Bay Gaol is the only example of a state prison specifically built to carry out public works. The intention was for prisoners to construct a breakwater in Trial Bay and create a safe harbour between Sydney and Brisbane.
The Gaol closed in 1903 but was reopened during the first world war as a internment camp for citizens of German descent until 1918.
Me looking super on the gaol wall, over looking Trial Bay.
The brig 'Trial' was seized by convicts near the Sow and Pigs Reef in Port Jackson, New South Wales, on 12th September, 1816, when awaiting a favourable breeze to sail for Port Dalrymple, Tasmania.
The pirate sailed her northwards, and she was wrecked about 60 miles north of Port Stephens, New South Wales, in the bay which now bears the vessel's name. (abc.net.au)
Sculptures in the Gaol.
This placed didn't seem as oppressive as Bodmin Gaol.
