It’s been blowing like stink now for a few days, so a day on a mooring seemed a good idea and very welcome. Stayed in Bauer Bay at South Molle Island, a sunny day and warm but the strong wind kept things vigorous aboard. Went ashore in the dinghy mid-morning and H became a resort rat and sat beside the pool while I did some bush walking on this lovely national park island. First was the walk up to the highest peak, Spion Kop, which is 176M elevation. A fairly easy trail through dry rainforest initially then higher up through a windswept grassland, with large numbers of grass trees ranging from small to over 2M tall. The views from the top were magnificent and well worth the effort. After a pool swim, I took the trail to the other peak, Lamond Hill, 133M, which despite the lower elevation was mildly more challenging, but not so spectacular. However in the later afternoon sun it provided a better view of the bay from the west. For me, that now completes the Ngaro peoples sea trail, having walked all the trails in the island group, and all were excellent. Remaining overnight on this mooring and a big pot of spag bol is already bubbling away.
Pictures above are Bauer Bay from Lamond Hill in the west, two of the resort rat, and Bauer Bay again from Spion Kop, with GD safely tucked in.
