Mar 5 - Mar 9: Three Nights at The Prom

End of Day 13 - Mar 5: Wow!  I have never been to this stunning part of the world. It reminds me a little bit of the Galapagos, a little bit of New Zealand. The area covered by the national park is huge and there is no way that 3 days here will be sufficient.  But I'm sure we will enjoy what we can in the short time we have here. After setting up camp we wandered the river, beach and nearby rocks in the late afternoon/evening, seeing wombat, wood ducks (him and her) and kelp gulls to whet our appetite.  The wombat has blue on it because it has been treated for mange. Day 14 - Mar 6: We woke up to a perfect day weather-wise, much to Pete's delight because today we our plan was to climb up Mount Oberon for the views. We started off reasonably early before the day had a chance to warm up too much.  Fortunately, the walk doesn't start at beach level, but starts at a midway saddle then goes gradually up for 4 kms. The walk was remarkably quiet, with little bird sounds....
