After checking into Port Lincoln for Park permits & a coffee we found a great campsite in the Lincoln National Park looking west on Spalding Bay.
Camp at Spalding Bay, Lincoln NP
We launched our little boat and tried some sunset fishing but, alas, too small to keep.
Sunset, Ginnie, Gin & Tonic – a wonderful combination!
Next morning a 2-3 hour hike around the Donnington Headland…
A great view spoiled!
and after lunch drove down to the southern tip to view the wild coastline – truly breathtaking.
Heading towards Memory Cove – Lincoln NP
Markus also managed a play in the sand dunes!
Wanna sand dunes – check the video on Facebook 🙂
Gentle rain saw our first wet pack up of camp and after some “intense fellowship” (as our pastor Mark would say), we managed to wrestle the boat back onto the trailer from a very low tide beach and set off for Coffin Bay.
Airing down the tyres for the trip into Coffin Bay NP
Only 50kms across to Coffin Bay National Park accessed by a serious 4 wheel drive track, through sand dunes and narrow rutted scrubby tracks to arrive at an amazing campsite on a small beach on Coffin Bay.
Campsite view at Black Springs
A sunset fish in our boat on the glassy waters brought a huge surprise – we were surrounded by dolphins. We were so close we could hear them breathing as they surfaced! We stayed out in the boat to watch another amazing sunset. Truly magic! What an awesome Creator!
Sunset with the Dolphins 🙂

Loving the pics. Fitzgerald Bay & Black Springs are definitely my sort of camp sites. Awesome!
Thanks. Having slightly damp and overcast conditions at present so just staying put and relaxing.
it looks stunning. it is certainly on the cards for our next trip before the biggie in 2016. sooo many magical spots, i am a little [or a lot] envious. good to see you’re grabbing some great spots along the way. can’t imagine how awesome that encounter with the dolphins would’ve been. 5 star jet setters don’t get to experience those kinds of priceless moments, alone … just you and creation. enjoy 🙂
Hi Brenda. There are so many beautiful places! We are traveling through some great fishing spots. Dave would love it. Unfortunately we are yet to catch something big enough to eat! But having fun trying 🙂 Fresh yogurt each day is delicious x
Lincoln was one of our favourite places on our way back from WA five years ago (is it that long?). Looks like the same beach where Sue went swimming, sans swimmers, whilst I collected a handful of those little black and white shells. Sometime after our return I presented Sue with a necklace of those same shells which I had a jeweler make up.
Nice… what a guy!
