So far I feel yesterday’s walk was the most challenging. Today we arrived at our starting point in the Booranup Forest at 9:20am. The start of the walk was very easy, we made good time through an easy track in the midst of the Karri Forest. After 30 minutes the track turned towards the coast and the Karri’s were soon left behind. The track started to become an up and down walk over the coastal heath. After about 90 minutes we made it to the beach. The large tour group we catch up with each day was just in front of us on the beach.
The beach walk was a long one into Hamelin Bay. The beach walk was about 6 kilometres long not all that difficult as the sand was quite firm. It was a glorious day and we made good time. I had a chat with one of the ladies on the tour group and she explained that the walk was very enjoyable and well organised. We arrived at the Hamelin Bay settlement at about twelvish. The seabreeze came in as we had our lunch overlooking the beautiful waters.
After lunch we made our way along another small beach for about 20 minutes before the track turned inland. The walk inland was quite challenging over quite steep hills. After a strenuous and demanding walk we reached a small lighthouse referred to as Foul Bay Lighthouse. The view from the lighthouse location was beautiful. It was an easy 15 minute walk to Cosy Corner road for our pickup. We will start from this location for our last part of the walk tomorrow.
