Cape Laveque

Wow, what a pristine part of Australia, as soon as we arrived I was in awe of the scenery. The red rocks, crisp white sand and turquoise warm water. In one day I took 200 photo’s, I couldn’t stop snapping.

Upon arrival our Safari Tent was not ready so we walked along the beach on the west side of Cape Laveque where there are deep bright red coloured rocks backing up against pure white soft sand. This is where the Qantas add was filmed, with the children singing I Still Call Australia Home standing on the red rocks. From here we went to the east side for a swim. The rocks were not as red but with the colour of the water and sand, perfect for many more photos. Along this stretch of beach were half a dozen Beach Huts, completely open with a roof and three sides. With a little more camping gear this would be quite a unique way of staying here, maybe next time… By this time our tent was ready, we are at the base of the light house poking through the trees looking out over east beach.

That afternoon we drove along the beach for yet another swim and to watch the beautiful sunset with a glass of sparking, cheese and dip. While also watching the tide go out a very long way. We then settled in to a beautiful BBQ dinner of steak and fresh. That night we left the shutters on the tent open so we could wake up to the sunrise over the water.
