We headed
to Coffin Bay to try their Australian, and possibly world famous oysters. After
setting up camp in the NP at Yangie Bay, the swimmers were on straight away and
we headed down to the bay. Walking into the sea our feet were rapidly sinking
into silty muddy white gunk… On that note we turned around and decided to go
for a walk instead. Not the best spot for swimming… There are several walks
from this campground but we just checked out the lookout point and followed the
well-marked footpath (wohoo!). One word of warning… watch out for snakes! Liz
luckily managed to step over a little one without realising whilst it lazed on
a rock in the sun.

Our aim
the following day was to finally catch a feed. We checked out the lookout at
Point Avoid for possible fishing spots and then headed down to Almonta Beach, which
were both beautiful (getting rather repetitive...). However the sea was rather
rough around the Western side of the NP and the thought of loosing another lure
was a no no…

Instead we headed in to Coffin Bay to check out a fishing spot at
Crinolin Point. This was our spot! Both of us caught some edible-sized Aussie Salmon
- 31cm (Kyle) and 34cm (Liz) catches! A
good day’s fishing, and great nights eating – camp fish and chips!!

Yay, fish to eat (if you can keep the Pelicans away!) Hope they were tasy and lived up to expectation. X
