This morning we set our alarm for 4.30 so we could see the sun rise over the water...I was excited..we grabbed a windcheater and ran down to the beach. It was just amazing... the colours over the ocean and the sand dunes were spectacular....and I loved seeing all the little animal footprints over the sand that they had left during the night.

 

Our final swim at the beach at Pt Ann...we were very sad to leave and vowed to return in the not too distant future.

 

On the way out of Fitzgerald River National Park, we climbed West Mt Barren. At the top we had a great view of the park all the way to the coast. The little mountain in the photo is Mt Bland. The wildflowers in the park have been amazing but at the base of this mountain there were so many...and so many different species...(It is one of the most botanically significant national parks in Australia).

 

Pt Ann Fitzgerald River National Park...this was to be our favourite stop of the trip....look at how close we were to the beach and imagine the wonderful views we had. It was so isolated...the stars that night were like nothing we had ever seen.

 

The beach was breathtaking with the views of the mountains behind... and the sand was so white and fine, like icing sugar....there was this mirror effect.
