We got up and packed and were on the road by 10am to continue sightseeing and exploring this amazingly beautiful area. We headed out to the most southern section of Mt William national park which edges onto The Bay of Fires at Eddystone Point where there is a huge old still working lighthouse. From here we poked our head down a 4wd track that would take us to Ansons Bay but about 2kms into the 8km track we turned back as it was getting too risky to keep going alone as the chances of getting stuck were increasing. So on we pushed to Policeman’s point this is another great area for camping though it has no facilities but fantastic beach and river access. After a further 50kms we were back on the black stuff and getting into St Helens where we found a great park by the river to have lunch. It was only about another 30kms to camp and we had 2 areas to pick from. The previous plan was to camp at Douglas Apsley National park but the book we got the details out of was old and luckily I have purchased another book which showed us the area we are in tonight. We are camping in Lagoon Conservation Camping area about 30kms north of Bicheno. After picking a nice little spot for us we headed out to Douglas Apsley national park and did a short walk to the beautiful water hole. If the weather is nice tomorrow we are thinking of going back for a swim on our way past.
We headed back to camp cooked a fantastic meal on the fire had a stroll down the beach and took a bunch more pictures and now are sitting relaxing again planning for tomorrows adventures.
