Just found this hiding and gave it new life, sorry for the confusion but now you have it all, in fact some of it twice. 
Somehow the date of my last blog is wrong, it was for Sunday August 10. Be that as it may today is Tuesday, so once again I have missed a day. Sunday nights roast with entertainment was good, the food was a full 3 courses and was very nice. The entertainment was an aboriginal gentleman playing guitar and singing a mixture of songs, the best however were his own some of which were in 'language'. It was also of course a social gathering and we met and shared a table with a nice couple from the eastern hills. 
During the day we wandered down to the beach and it was really nice to swim in 'real' water, funny how the ocean feels different to all the lovely fresh water swimming holes that we have visited. It was also nice to be back on real beaches with white beach sand. Just as a note this station is 43000 hectares, has 8000 head of cattle (I think that I have those number correct) but here is the big one, it has 82km of beachfront! 
Monday morning I went for my usual walk to look around the station, but that didn't work out. What I did notice was the large number of vans in the park, I did not count them but I would say it was over 100. Which, over the 5-6 season adds up to a nice bit of extra income for the station. 
This morning I did my walk along the beach and came a cross some rock formations just begging to be photographed. So back to the van I went, got the camera and photographed these wonderful rocks, all sorts of shapes, red and white or just red or just white, good stuff. Then we packed our bags and got back on the road. Down the rough road to the highway, then about 80 kms down the highway, definitely down as we are heading south, to one of the great rest areas that main roads provides. They are basically level ground, some bitumen, some gravel, toilets, dump spot, gzebos
