Alison, Deb and Bob’s Coorong Adventure

 

In November 2023 Deb, Bob and I explored the Coorong.   The continuing La Nina result in strong winds and some rain but we managed to have a great time exploring the area.   We saw lots of birds, found several bakeries and understand a lot more now about the Aboriginal and settler culture of the area.

We based ourselves in Clayton Bay (a big thank you to Cathy for the use of the family holiday house when the thought of tenting it lost its attraction due to the weather).

Day 1 was spent exploring around Clayton Bay on foot and in kayaks.   

Pat impressed us with her knowledge of birds and her ability to keep the spray off Bob when paddling!

For Day 2 we headed east to the Coorong National Park and Parnka Point.

Day 3 we visited Goolwa and Hindmarsh Island

Day 4 was a paddle from Hindmarsh Island to Godfreys Landing

And our final day was at Victor Harbour.

Here’s my best bird photo!

And check out some of the other photos from the trip.

 

Thanks Bob for looking after us!
