We commenced today at about 9.30am. The walk today is a little further, being 16 kilometres long. The walk was not too hard to take except when walking along the beach stretches or up and down sand dunes. Fortunately the sand stretches are not too long.
The wind was not as strong as yesterday afternoon. It really helps to wear a wide brimmed hat to keep the sun off your face, although my legs are getting a little over cooked. I also ended up with a blister on my right big toe. A bandaid on the toe and an extra pair of socks and my toe went well for the rest of the day.
There is an enormous amount of wildflowers that we had the pleasure of photographing. The scenery is very variable, frequently changing from cliff to beach, so it never becomes boring. Just before Moses Rock was reached we crossed over Quindalup Creek and in the background was the falls, we could not see much water going over the falls. It looked very soft sand up to the base of the falls, so we gave it a miss. It was bad enough walking up the soft sand path as we moved away from Quindalup Creek. The area has red “ocre”, so was a traditional aboriginal area for corroborees.
The photos tell more of a story than the words I write. We arrived at Moses Rock our meeting point at 2.50pm. Kathryn and Nola arrived about 10 minutes later.
