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.

The flowers are beautiful and the beach walk looks fabulous. Who knew Bruce was a crazy tree-hugger ;)
