Anniversary Bay

Since Mana is heading off Friday, we decided to chance the on & off again rain and take a short hike over to Anniversary Bay

Beautiful aqua waters today

I am kinda liking how the rain stops every time I go out for a walk!! Must have done something to please the Rain Gods. 😀

A moment of proper sunshine

We walked up the hills on the west side of Sisters Beach, past the wet cave… great views all around really.

No real path on this bit

Once down to sea level you are greeted with rugged rocky shores

All part of Rocky Cape National Park

Not far along you start running into fine white sandy beach areas

Every now and again it would get really intensely sunny!

Sunglasses time

Fabulous stretches of beach along here, and because of its slight remote nature, its never full of people… in fact, seeing one or two is unusual.

You can keep walking west all the way to the lighthouse at Rocky Cape if you are keen

The going gets a lot more rugged as you go west – but great areas to fossick for shells

Generally if we are going to do that, we start at Rocky Cape – someone drops us off and we walk back to Sisters Beach where we will have left our car.  We take a picnic, lots to drink and take our time. (usually around 6 hours!!)

I must say the climb back up the cliff was invigorating!!

Finishing up & looking back (not panting TOO much!!)

Pretty much ready for bed now – Its still raining off and on. Would be nice for Mana’s last day tomorrow to be sunny and gorgeous – will have to wait and see.

Cheers
