One Mile Jetty Carnarvon

We drove out there one day but decided it was too hot to walk it so yesterday was the day we did it. Planning to leave early well that didn't happen, we sit over breakfast too long if we are not really going anywhere.

Anyway we got going at ten o'clock, wearing long sleeves to guard against the sun.
It was a looong way until we were over water, a train goes out on the weekends, cost of $10 to ride the train or $5 to walk it. The jetty is no longer in use except as a talking point and to fish off.
Lots of pelicans and black ducks.
We couldn't go right to the end as it is under repair but we sat on a bench seat and it seemed to move, the water was making it sway, needless to say I did not sit there for long. Funny that we didn't feel it moving when we were walking.
While we were sitting at the end, we saw a seagull hunched down to get out of the wind. It was very windy and wasn't hot because of the wind. It was pretty strong and kept whipping my hair into my eyes. The birds couldn't take off into the wind, they tried but it would blow them back the other way but still they kept trying.
