Tuesday 5 August
Ran down to near the mouth of the creek and went ashore to explore the Lighthouse and settlement. Met Pat who lives there. had a good yarn about the history of the place and received directions where to go. It used to be a quarantine station in the 1800’s.A couple of thousand people went through it when it was operating. It also had a pub ,school ,pilot station and cemetery where 38 people are buried. The lighthouse was built in the mid 1800’s an is still operating . We went for a walk along the beach and Nick picked up some nice shells for his grandkids. For dinner, I served Nick Holly’s Signature Dish –Beef Cheeks a la Holly-with 3 bottles of $2.40 red wine from Gladstone.
