Bakers Beach, Narrawntapu NP 1st - 4th Februaury

Denis's back yard (low tide)
What a little paradise we found at our friend Denis's home at Baker Beach!  We worked with Denis on Lizard Island and had planned to catch-up on this trip.  We can understand why you left Lizard Denis!

We enjoyed a few too many bottles of wine together and some great food.  The Ocean Tuna was the best,  thanks so much Denis!  We ate fresh veges from the gardens and hot house and canoed up the Rubicon estuary on high tide into Port Sorrell, with no-one else in sight, how peaceful.

Bakers Beach is right on the doorstep of beautiful Narawntapu NP.  Long beaches, dunes, lagoons, small islands and the park’s many inlets and low mountain ranges are the features of this unspoilt area.  Birds are abundant as well as mammals. We had a perfect weather for exploring the park and with a packed lunch made a day of it.

We walked to Archers Knob via the Springlawn Nature Walk then onto Badger Head and onto Copper Cove for a swim and lunch.  The views were spectacular (I know I use this word a lot but Wow this place is beautiful) we had an absolutely fabulous day.

Check out the pics below taken in the park and at Denis's.  My favourite is the pic of the black cockatoos taken after sunset on our last night at Bakers Beach (Click on the photo to enlarge).
