Day Six - Back to nature - Wednesday 8th May 2013

We woke this morning to overcast weather and decided we'd have a short trip on the bike before doing some of the boring things, washing the bike and washing clothes !
But just because we didn't go far doesn't mean it was dull. It was all about nature. We started by going to the Wilderness and the beach, stopping at a viewsite and walking down to the sand, seeing some very sweet little wild flowers along the way. Then we rode uphill to Hoekwil, stopping for a superb view over this part of the coast, and from there to the Woodville Indigenous reserve, where we saw the Big Tree, an 800-year-old wonder. We then took a 2km walk around the forest, taking pictures of local flowers and fungi.
The chores started when we got home and we're hoping for sunny weather tomorrow.
