Day 10: 12 April 2018
It all started with a gorgeous sunrise at Cowes Jetty, followed by a headland walk at The Nobbies, then a beach stroll at Smiths and blown away at The Pyramid Rock. Great day yet again J Hope you like the album.
Day 9: 11 April 2018
Early start, I watched a pink sun rise over the Wilson prom from the camp ground at Yanakie. Louis and I woke early and took off 8am to see the animals at the Wilson Prom Nature park. We managed to see a few kangaroos and wallabies but as it was morning we didn’t see any wombats or deers. After this we took off to Tidal creek to have a look. We walked the beach and Tidal River as it was low tide. Amazing rock colours and a huge van park, I’d hate to see what it’s like on a busy weekend. After this we return back to camp for 10.30am and began packing up the camper. We left Wilson prom from 12.30pm and slowly headed to Phillip Island.
Day 8: 10 April 2018
We visited Tongue Point, swam at Fairy Cove and Darby Beach, then finished off with a sunset at Whisky Bay. What made this day so special was that we were invited to join two wonderful families to be apart of their sunset dinner on the beach. They had carted down a five-star feast totally decked out with tables, chairs, huge paella, nibbles and wonderful food. I actually thought it was professionally organised five-star beach dining experience. We were so blessed to be able to finish the day such with great company. Louis had the time of his life playing beach football in the late afternoon. This is what travelling is all about, I will never forget this day, how lucky are we to have this on our doorstep.

Magic start yet again at Lake Tyers and awesome finale at Wilson’s Prom
Day 6 8-4-18 Lake Tyers
Camping on the bluff at Camp Tyler made for front row seats to watch the spectacular sunrise. The conditions were perfect for capturing images on both camera and drone. I had a refreshing swim before heading to the local café to stock up on water. I was informed that Scott Kingman from the band ‘The Screaming Jets’ owns the local café and is a photographer so I was keen to meet him and have a chat. Scott sells his photos in the shop along with great knitted beanies and camp supplies. They also sell delicious homemade takeaway food. Lindy showed me the local kayaking spots and I headed off to Mills Point where I launched my kayak and paddled across the lake to ‘Black Fellows Arm. The lake has an abundance of birdlife including black swans, egrets, eagles and a flock of black cockatoos which I’m hoping doesn’t indicate rain. A marbled sunset completed yet another great day.
Scott Kingman is a musical artist and is currently setting up a gallery in the Lake Tyer village. To view photo images from Scott Kingman visit www.kingmanproductions.com.au
