A bit more of the Heysen Trail
It was cold, cloudy and blustery so perhaps not an ideal day to do a bit more of the Heysen Trail. Nevertheless, we dressed wisely and headed to Parsons Beach, 18 kms from home along the rugged coast west of Waitpinga. We followed the track to Parsons Headland, a grassy lookout spot where the wind blew, the waves crashed and we had glorious views of the coast.
Looking down was rewarding as there was quite a bit of colour underfoot.
Eagle-eyed Steve spotted a kangaroo.
... and I quickly snapped this gull.
We then headed east...
... stopping every now and again for photos.
The track is clearly marked.
We headed for Waitpinga Beach but halfway there we turned around as we have done that part of the walk before.
At least we were warm by the time we got back to the car.

Why is Steve wearing shorts??? Those zero birthdays must toughen you up.
ReplyDeleteAnd were the salmon running? Possibly also wearing shorts. My parents used to fish at Parsons and then Dad would smoke the salmon (this could get sillier and sillier) in his home-made smoker. Delicious.

Yes, Steve did complain a bit about the cold, even though I had told him to dress warmly. No salmon but whales today at Bashams Beach. A bit too far away for us to go. They were here in Petrel Cove last week and we did dash there when emailed by friends, only to be foiled once again. I'm sure one day I'll see them. FF
