The campground is huge and I cannot hear the sea. We got the bikes out and started exploring the wonderful bike trails. Our first stop was a shipwreck on the beach. Rob climbed to the top of the metal skeleton. We were amazed to see cars driving up and down the beach. The boys wanted me to get the car on the beach but I was not too keen to risk getting it stuck in soft sand. We needed Rich with us. Rocky spent some time off leash. He loved running after Rob. He even ran through some pools left behind by the low tide. He listened to our calls most of the time but when he saw a seagull he had to chase it – no matter how much we called after him. We then rode towards the river mouth and explored the old batteries that were used for defense. The ride back to the camper was fun and the boys had to take a detour to re-visit the wreck. Rob and I stocked up on food supplies and we found some lovely wind/rain jackets. We treated ourselves to pizza and soup for dinner. We had hoped to get to the south jetty by 6pm, for a ranger led program. We arrived late and missed it. Hundreds of pelicans, seagulls and terns were fishing in the water really close to the jetty. It was great to watch them. I enjoyed watching ships entering and leaving the river mouth. The boys had “stick” wars on the beach while I enjoyed the activity on the river. Rob made a fire before we all went to bed.
