Seal Rocks

We drove the dirt road through Myall Lake NP to Seal Rocks, a small beach town where, we guess, nothing much happens. We walked up to the lighthouse at Sugarloaf Point (completed in 1875 but with plenty of shipwrecks occurring afterwards too, so nautically of limited value although very picturesque). We looked down over a small bay (perhaps a mile long only) with tiny waves and sheltered from the onshore stiff breeze. So we traipsed back to the car, collected the boards and claimed our patch of sand. Very nice too. We didn't see any of the Grey Nurse Sharks that live in this part of the maritime protected area or any seals, because they were hunted to near extinction so only pop back when the coast, as they say, is clear.
