Our main reason for visiting Cape Bridgewater was to take a walk around the cliff tops, to the home of the largest mainland group of seals in Australia at 'seal point'. We actually walked along Australia's highest cliff to get to the colony. The colony was pretty amazing, there were so many seals here all playing with eachother, ducking and diving in the sea - not to mention the horrific smell that the little things produced!! Pooh! It was a shame that we couldnt get closer, but you had to pay for a boat tour - and since we knew we were to see many in New Zealand we thought it not very worthwhile. It was a really beautiful coastline to the colony, with many wildlife species living among it. At the colony we saw lots of Gannetts feeding from the seal colony, diving down into the water for food and circling around - it was pretty cool. On the way back from the colony we dropped pretty lucky, and saw about 3 bottle nosed dolphins diving in and out of the water. We stood entertained watching them for a while, and trying to get some good pics of them - however they were quite far away so this proved difficult. Although James did get a great snap shot of the dolphin jumping out of the water!

After playing with two cute dogs on the beach afterwards, we headed to Lower Glenelg National Park to the Dry Creek Walking Trail. James wanted to go fishing.. but Chris and I wanted to go for a walk. So we decided to split up and do our own thing. The walk itself was along a track through a dry river bed, and through various bush and shrub.. which took about an hour, not the best walk we have done by any means. Afterwards, we joined Paula and James at the river after stopping off at a really nice viewpoint of the river meandering around the surrounding forest. We eventually found them, and Chris and James did a spot of fishing - both AT LAST catching fish! Only small Perch though haha. A local fisherman came over to us all, who was also camping at the river for the night.. and gave james some small fish for bait (I think baby whiting). The next morning the fisherman was up early again and eager to show James his secret spot (an old boatshed) for fishing.. which apparently was almost a guarenteed catch if you fish there - because he had been feeding them everyday there - so all the big ones come into the boat shed at the same time everyday. Bless the man, he was sweet! He showed us where two Possums lived in little holes on the bank just in front of our campers.. we now know what all the noise was about that night!!! haha. xx
