October- Camping at Old Site Part 1

In October a group of us went to camp at the Old Site. This is about a 3 hour drive south of Lockhart. Withe the permission of the elders we drove down and camped overnight at this very beautiful beach. The drive down was also very interesting with lots of changes in vegetation and wildlife to be seen on the way.

A carpet python found on the road on the way down to Old Site.

On arriving at Old Site we quickly set up camp as it was extremely hot.
So despite seeing a croc cruising off the beach, we all went for a swim!

It was like sitting in a luke warm bath, but at least you cooled off when you stood in the breeze all wet!

Later when walking along the beach we found more evidence of crocs, in their slides and a very ominous dark creek, great for crocs.

Croc slides.
