Headed into Fitzgerald National Park along a dirt road to Point Ann. The kids were entertained collecting rocks on the beach, especially Lara who came back up to the car lugging twice her body weight. As we had enough weight in the car with all the gear we told her she could only keep 2 rocks. She then spent an agonising 15 minutes going through them all deciding what to keep. We had morning tea at Point Ann with views of the coast and dolphins (or seaweed being tossed through the waves).
We then drove to West Mt Barren to hike up to the summit. After a relatively steep scrambling climb we made it up. Had a quick sandwich, but were forced to make a quick evacuation due to the number of flies (don’t know why flies hang out at the summit – not much food up there). We raced back down to the car and made the return trip in around an hour. Nick was pretty pleased because the information suggested a 2 hour round trip. The Swiss would probably do it in 20 minutes return!
