The water spills over the rock at the top of the falls.

A bit of sun flare.

There are reportedly some upper tiers to this waterfall. I did have a bit of a look but didn't venture further up than this bottom fall.

Evercreech

While not at this exact spot we camped the night beside this nice creek. This is taken on the walk up to Evercreech falls.

Not the most specular falls we have seen on this trip.

Another walk here is called the white nights. Here in the valley close to the creek there is a temperate rainforest growing but as you go up the slopes it changes at a distinct boundary to a drier white gum forest. In the past some one though this looked like the white knights lined up defending Evercreech castle and gave the area its name "Evercreech"

Bay of Fires

The Bay of Fires campgrounds are not that far out of St Helens. We camped at Jeannerete campground the closest to St Helens. It is the only one that is no dogs and has access to two beaches.

Bay of Fires

This bloke was fishing I am not sure how he went. There were another couple of blokes who were spear fishing yesterday and they did alright.

Snapped this seagull while I was trying to get some interesting shots of rocks and red lichen.

Even the sea gulls have problems dodging the surf on the rocks.

No red rock but one of my better shots for the morning.

Bird rock.

Bird rock. Looks like the gull is happy to share the rock with cormorants.

Bay of Fires - Eddystone Lighthouse

The name plate on the door indicates that this light was established in 1889.

There is very little information here but these support workers houses are in very good order.

This shelter shed is at the boat ramp near the lighthouse.

Mt Williams NP - Stumpy Campground

We did drive the forester road hoping to spot a Forester Kangaroo but no such luck. There was a family of wallabies at the campground though.
