Cape Riche 2012

We went back to Cape Riche for another stay. At $5.50 p/n for adults, kids free its a lovely place to camp if you don't mind being with other campers. Right on the coast surrounded by bushland and wildlife, its just beautiful. The kangaroos hang around the campsite and are very friendly and we saw a bung arrow lizard and a dugite ( wasn't alive for long ). We went spearfishing although we didn't get much as most of the fish were under size or bad eating ( weed eaters ). We went for a walk along the coastline to what my 5 year old calls "The dangerous cliffs". Lovely coastline and views. My dad discovered that some of the waves would be great for a beginner surfer ( he's trying to get me into surfing, I'm not doing to well lol ). The fishing is pretty good, we managed to get a few herring and a decent sized Skippy. 
The water in the area is great, there are no dumping waves which makes the beach great for kids. Our son learnt to swim here on our last trip and enjoyed snorkeling around the reef which is right on the shore. We plan on buying some sea kayaks for our next trip here. The water is just so calm and there is an abundance if sea life so we will try our luck at kayak fishing. A stingray came right into the shore whilst we were on the beach so the kids got to have a look and threw some bait in for it.
Any way I've spoken about Cape Rich in an earlier post, I really just wanted to share some photos with you. Perhaps, if you get around to having a trip there yourself you can let me know what you thought of the place?
