Day 62 Saturday 13th August

Another windy start to the day although it did start to abate later in the morning. Ray was hoping to watch his footy team's match in the afternoon and Heather and Hanna were once again going for a snorkel in Coral Bay. Steve, Lyn, Rob and I decided to once again take the 4 wheel drive track north of Coral Bay. We drove along the rough track as far as our map showed to a place called 9 Mile Bruboodjoo Point Camp. It was on Aboriginal land and there was a charge of $10 per vehicle to stop there, $15 if you were camping overnight. There were about 20 or so campsites  mainly caravans, spread around the sparse area. There were bush toilets but water and power had to be  brought in. The conditions looked pretty rough but maybe it's a great fishing spot. We didn’t stay long and headed back to a another stop at a large sandbar. We went for a lovely walk and collected some beautiful shells. From here we drove back to the Lagoon, that we had visited a few days earlier. We snorkled here and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with plenty of brightly coloured fish and coral. Later in the afternoon we headed back to Coral Bay and watched the footy.
