Day 3 - Park Entrance to Sleaford Mere: Sleaford Mere
We would like to acknowledge the Barngarla people, the traditional owners of the land on which we walk, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are present today.
Today would bring more lovely coastline, and more spectacular dunes as we finish our first circuit at Sleaford Mere, where our 4WD is parked.
Empty bottles ….. at last ! Geoff no longer needs to carry the extra 8 litres of water.
Along Sleaford Track initially
Then back onto the single track Investigator Trail.
Miller Hole looks like it would be an amazing fishing spot.
The track continues just inland, the sound of the waves a constant accompaniment to our footsteps.
And back onto the beach.
4WDs drive all through this area. I suspect they have contributed to the erosion leaving just these remnant grassy hummocks, or perhaps it’s just a natural phenomenon?
The trail ducks inland again. We are nearly back at the car.
A glimpse of Sleaford Mere.
One last pause to soak up the dunes, cloud shadows racing across the sand.
and the end of our first section. It has been an absolute delight.
