Wednesday 22 February

 We spend a couple of hours on  Cheynes beach doing yoga, stretching and skipping with no one around before we head off to Bremer Bay. 

As we join the South Coast highway there’s a rather vague and worrying sign saying that the highway is closed because of a bush fire. As it continues for hundreds of miles we don’t know if the bush fire is before or after our turn off. Turns out to be after and there’s a helpful app to consult for future trips. 

We stop to brew up coffee near some really isolated farmsteads. 

We arrive at our camp site at Bremer Bay, a nice pitch under the peppermint trees.  We walk along a track from the site to a rather wild beach with dangerous surf with an abalone farm behind it. Rosé from Ironwood  vineyard as a preprandial.
