Today was a magnificent sunny day. After I hung out my washing, I hit the tourist traps in time for coffee and cake at Killynaught overlooking the ocean and fields of poppies.

I visited the auto museum at the Wonders of Wynyard tourist information centre. I paid my $8 and received my own personal tour of the exhibits by a volunteer called Bevan. The exhibits were an eye opener, being 20 or so beautifully restored cars from 1900 to 1920, including several fords, some Cadillacs, an Oldsmobile and some others. There were also some some old bikes.

Next was fish and chips on the wharf, followed by more exploring.

Fossil Bluff is an outcrop of sedimentary rocks of various ages, with interesting fossil formations. The climb to the top of the Bluff was an effort but provided unexpectedly spectacular 360 degree views of Wynyard and the coastline in both directions.
