25.02.2023 from Fishermans Point to Yangie CP in Coffin Bay NP

During the night, the temperatures are very pleasant, not too hot and not too cold, it rains a few drops, and in the early morning, we feel the perfect weather for a beach walk, which should actually be called a climbing adventure. We drive almost to the tip of the peninsula and walk along the beach to the modern lighthouse. Emus watch us and we approach them carefully when they are on the way and they stroll majestically past us with their heads held high. The climbing adventure over the big and small stones is fun, a very impressive place for those interested in geology. Various types of rocks alternate, and the degree of fragmentation can be clearly seen in the swash zone, there are thick boulders, in the second row there are already round large stones, and in the third row there are the small ones, worn small by water and waves.

At the lighthouse, we see 2 or 3 emus who willingly pose for photos. In the sea, some dolphins show their fins, unfortunately, there is no jumping today.

We walk back to our car and drive to another very impressive point in the NP. At another end of Lincoln NP, high sand dunes can be climbed and even driven on with all-wheel drive. The latter is not necessary, but there are visible interested parties who have tried it.

We climb a high dune and jump down, we will feel the sand on our feet all day. The salt lake in the immediate vicinity shines in bright blue color and unfortunately has a musty shore, we hope to be able to wash our feet today.

We continue to Port Lincoln, upload pictures to the internet, and buy fresh and smoked fish. We paid 70 AUD for a few small pieces of smoked fish (2 small octopuses and 2 small pieces of salmon, as well as 500 g of fresh flathead and marinated squid), which is 47 €. Enjoy your meal.

On the way to Coffin Bay NP, we visit 2 lookouts from which we can see the special features of the landscape well. Bays, islands, and shallow waters provide sufficient retreat options for many juvenile fish from large predators. That is why the government has not only established a national park but also placed the water areas under special protection.

From the campsite, we go for a short walk and see how quickly the tide reaches even the last bay. We fry the fresh fish and plan the drive into the Outback.
