Day 7 - 8; 31st March - 1st April: Wingan Inlet

This is another spot within Croajingolong N.P. A beautiful secluded camping area with good-sized campsites and situated about 34 k’s off the highway. We arrived early afternoon and set up quickly. This allowed time for walk to the beach along a track that followed the edge of the inlet and wound through the forest with boardwalks and such. Plenty of bird life was spotted as well as a big fur seal that was resting in the shallows of the inlet. We also surprised a wild dog that was feasting on what looked like a seal that had been dead for several days and smelt as though it had been dead for weeks. He took off along the water’s edge when he heard us and was just as spooked by us as we were by him. Jassy and Daisy thought it was great, but Livy and Ruby weren’t particularly comfortable with the situation at all.
A very comfortable night’s sleep was had and the silence of the campsite was actually quite strange as we were quite a way from the beach and so could not hear any sounds at all.
Next morning was another beauty, so a spot of fishing was in order. All the girls had a go off the end of the small pier and were successful in catching something. Check the photos for proof.
After breakfast we packed up and decided to head for Mallacoota as the girls were looking for a shower and some amenities!!!!!!
