Day 9
Seaspray
The Honeysuckles, Glomar Beach Road
Golden Beach
We had been to Seaspray a few years ago
but found the place unrecognisable today. There has been a lot of
development, park-lands and playgrounds along with car parks and a
Life Saving Club with a restaurant. The General Store remains the
same as always. The caravan park has been relocated to the other side
of town, it looked quite large but very open, offering no shade or
shelter. The town generally looks well looked after with small
cottages and holiday homes. There is a memorial park and an Avenue of
Honour.
We walked along the deserted surf beach
watching a storm brewing.
From Seaspray we took the beach road
towards Golden Beach and came across 2 small holiday communities with
some comfortable and some unique holiday homes. The first was The
Honeysuckles (don't you just love that name) and the other on Glomar
Beach Road. Both of these small enclaves run alongside the 90 Mile
Beach with access through the scrub and dunes to the surf so if you'd
love a secluded beach house either of these could be appealing.
We carried on to Golden Beach which has
also had some substantial updates with car parks, public toilets and
a few shops which I'm sure are very much appreciated by the summer
holiday makers. There is a lot of camping spots along the foreshore
most of which are not dog friendly so it's worth checking that when
making a booking.
I couldn't believe it when another Echidna decided to scuttle out in front of us. We were travelling slowly so stopped and waited for him to cross. I think we've seen about 4 of them in the past 2 days...maybe it's an Echidna plague!
We did run into the storm on the way
back but stayed dry in the car and it passed us quickly.
We are heading home tomorrow feeling
happy and relaxed after a great trip.
