Blackfellows Caves in the Limestone Coast

Just down the road from our holiday house is the small village of Blackfellows Caves. We call it Blackfellas, for short.

The caves have eroded into the limestone bluffs and it makes for great viewing. As I walked around the edge of the caves I could hear the echoing of the waves thundering into the caves below me. 

We like this spot, it has a playground and barbeque area as well as places to fish. Isabel is becoming a keen fisherperson.

We did try some fishing after we took Summer back to the house to stay with Dad, while he put the roof on our new pergola. She'd had enough. Isabel caught two undersized salmon that we threw back. Looking forward to more fishing with her, I enjoy it too.

Crabbing at The Point

The kids love to go crabbing at Pelican Point. There is one part of the beach that is covered in rocks, and every turned stone reveals several crabs, scurrying for shelter. We collected them in a green castle bucket. I drew a line in the sand, then we laughed and squealed as we watched the crabs race back to the rocks, seeing which one would cross the line first. Good fun.

The girls and I spent a good part of Sunday morning wandering around the beaches of Blackfellows Caves and Pelican Point, while Brett and Jake went out fishing in the boat.

My place in time #24 - Something I've never seen before

Just down the road, about 5 kms from Pelican Point, lies the little fishing hamlet of Blackfellows Caves. So named I guess for the caves that have been carved out by the sea in the limestone. 

It's the first time I have gone to have a look. Brett had taken the girls for a drive back to Millicent, so I had the opportunity to walk around the bluffs by myself. 

If only I had a kayak. I could imagine a paddle around to take a closer look, on a calm day.
