Wright's Bay

We left The Mount on March 31st and cruised west along the coast searching for a good place to stay. It was Victorian school holidays, and the South Australian holidays and Easter long weekend were about to commence, so we were keen to avoid the peak season campground prices. We had bought a national parks pass in Mt Gambier so we checked out the Canunda National Park and stayed one night in a very basic camp at Geltwood Beach. The following day we received an SMS from our Coffs Harbour buddies and decided to join them further up the coast at Wright's Bay, just along from the beautiful town of Robe. The camp area was basically a paddock by the beach that was owned by 94 year old Tom who lived nearby and drove down daily to chat to everyone. For $5 per night we stayed here 5 nights over Easter and had a brilliant time. We also made friends with a family from Melbourne with a 7 year old girl (who Ashleigh adored) and a 3 year old son, who were also doing a big trip. One day we did one of Ashleigh's school art lessons with a couple of other children who were also doing distance education, along with the younger siblings. A major highlight at Wright's Bay was the "shearing" of Simon's golden locks with our new $10 hair clippers!
