Calvert's Lagoon
From Goat's Beach car park we did a partial circuit of the Lagoon, admiring the samphire. We continued through a bush track and crossed the road onto Goat's Beach to make our way back.
We eventually found the entrance to the lagoon access track.

Samphire (courtesy of Wikipedia)
...ashes were used to make soap and glass (hence its other old name in English, "glasswort") as it is a source of sodium carbonate, also known as soda ash.[4] In the 14th century glassmakers located their workshops near regions where this plant grew, since it was so closely linked to their trade. Many samphires are edible. In England the leaves were gathered early in the year and pickled or eaten in salads with oil and vinegar. Marsh samphire (Salicornia bigelovii) was investigated as a potential biodiesel source that can be grown in coastal areas where conventional crops cannot be grown.[5]
