Today we went to Guerilla Bay and then hiked to the lighthouse at Burrewarra Point, it was a fairly easy walk of about an hour. We were not wowed by the lighthouse but loved the walk through an old gnarly banksia forest. We were then wowed by the views back across Broulee Bay and the Pacific Ocean. We have been told this is a great place to see the migrating whales at the right time of year. We did see more fuzzy shapes in the water and think they were seals.

We took the scenic drive up through Batemans Bay, crossed the bay and found the Holmes Lookout Road and saw beautiful views back over Batemans and over the Clyde River National Park.

We took our time seeing this tiny but historic village and enjoying the sunshine and then back to the coast to see the amazing lunar like landscape of rocky ledges of South Durass.
On the way back we were quietly walking on the beach when about 30 people arrived, we were then privileged to witness the Baptism of 2 young women in the cold waters of Batemans Bay... it's been quite a day!
Tomorrow we head south with home as our goal by the end of the week.
