With stronger southerly winds forecast
for the weekend we moved around to the more protected Coasters
Retreat which is opposite Palm Beach better known in the UK as the
location for the TV soap Home and Away which is filmed here.
Coasters has 50 club and private
mooring balls, no national park public balls, so again we became
'honourary' Royal Prince Albert motor yacht club members. As there
were at least 40 empty moorings we didn't think we were depriving
anyone. We would have liked to go for a walk up the ridge to see
the aboriginal rock carvings but heavy rain was imminent; there was
just enough time to dinghy to the landing dock and for me to take our
rubbish to the camp site bins. David stayed in the dinghy and
missed seeing the wallabies nibbling the mown grass, one with a joey
in her pouch. The hardy campers had their tents pitched for the
weekend and I hope good wellies and umbrellas because the rain
started, the wind blew all through the night.
