We had heard lots of other campers rave about Middle Lagoon so we decided to make the long sandy detour, in no hurry to leave this beautiful part of Australia. We managed the deep sand and bumpy road without any problems...and were surprised to see quite large caravans here.
For the first time we decided to camp in the full sun...right on the cliff above the ocean, and put up our awning for only the second time on our trip. The views were just gorgeous, especially the setting sun.
Unfortunately the wind became a real problem, not for our camper or awning, which are both very strong and sturdy, but our stove kept blowing out and we just couldn't sit outside to eat! Luckily we had bought a (very) small portable stove in Darwin. We set this up inside the tent to cook, and ended up putting our table and chairs inside as well. During the night the wind was blowing a gale, and it just didn't really settle down the whole time we were here.
The boys enjoyed the surf, and spent hours catching waves with Grant, while I sheltered from the wind and hot sun.
We have also loved watching dozens of whales as they slowly make their way south..
Ass luck would have it the wind changed direction on the morning we packed up...blowing dirty sand and duet all over us, all over everything we have...and almost blew the tent right over our heads! The boys had to sit in the car while grant and I were whipped with sand trying to pack everything away. We even had to shower before we left as we were so covered in dirt and sand!
