Out and About in South West Rocks

The weather was much improved this morning, so Barbara was off for a morning walk to Back Beach.

Once Barbara returned from her walk, we drove to Trial Bay Gaol to walk the track up Monument Hilł to see the memorial to the German prison camp internees from WW1. As an added bonus, there were great views from the top of the hill.

You can walk from Momument Hill to Little Bay .. Or you can drive there like we did.  This is a very pretty beach with an adjoining picnic area ...

After lunch by Back Creèk, we parked on the headland at South West Rocks. It is a very lovely spot with Horseshoe Bay to the west and Trial Bay Beach to the east of the headland.

After coffee and cake in the town, we headed back to our van park (including a drive down to the Macleay River).

Unfortunately this trip is coming to an end.  We plan to drive up the coast and stay overnight somewhere near Lennox Head, leaving an easy run into Brisbane on Sunday. Tomorrow will be our last blog post for this trip.
