Coningham Nature Recreation Area

 
Coningham Nature Recreation Area
 
  At low tide we set off northwards towards the rock cliffs before heading inland and uphill in the reserve.
 
 
Assembling in the car park. 
 
 
 
 





Tas is showing us the way today



Looking back




Wandering through the coastal vegetation



Onto the beach in a little bay



The view of the mountain known as Sleeping Beauty





 

We were captivated by the rock formations and geology
















 
 Until we noticed life in the pools and under the rocks
 
















And...leaving the shoreline

 
Across the road and into the Reserve which we share with cyclists (none in evidence today)
 
 



 
Watched by curious locals




 
We needed to stop and shed layers of clothing
 
 

 






 

 
 
 



before continuing on along the fire trail





To exit the Reserve and make our way towards the coast






 
 
 
 



Then back along the cliff track...


  
...onto Coningham beach...









...to the cars



Bonding

 
And so..to lunch, shared with a seagull and a few wasps!
