Marlo was our next port of call, but we went via Cape Conran and Cabbage Tree Road. It was sealed all the way but once we passed the turn off to Cape Conran the road ran along the back of the beach with no views of the sea until we were almost at Marlo and there there was a large inlet with a very narrow entrance . After making a quick check of the facilities in the town we headed out to the banks of the Snowy river and found the first of the riverside camping areas, where there was already some campers so we set up too.
The weather was not brillant by any means as it was over cast and blowing 20-30 knots, which meant that we weren't comfortable sitting outside.
After M/t at East Cape we moved along to Cape Conran and Salmon Rocks. Although I had seen a seal in the Water at Cape Conran it wasn't until we were here that we saw a clear view of a seal that had hauled out on the rocks..
There were also a number of Cormorants and other birds sunning themselves on the rocks.
This white faced Heron was at East Cape and just froze when we started walking along the beach, so it was easy to get good pictures of him.

the inlet on the way back to Marlo.
Once back at Marlo we took a diversion down to see the PS Curlip which is an old paddle steamer which used to work on the Snowy river.
