Canunda National Park, Millicent

Posted on 13 November 2015 Written by Leave a Comment

Easter Sunday 2015 I did a drive down to Millicent where my grandson spent some time with some cousins. My eldest son John came with us and while my grandson spent the time with his cousins, John and I went ‘exploring’ one of the beaches along Canunda National Park looking for photo opportunities.

From Millicent we headed out Lossie Road and then onto Frontage Road, the road that runs along the top side of Lake Bonney SE. This road took us down past the windfarm south east of Millicent. After a while we turned back and turned south west onto Canunda Causeway Road which led us down to the parking area just before Geltwood Beach. I wasn’t equipped for beach or sand work so we didn’t venture too far off of the built up roads.

So we parked in a camping area and walked the three quarters of a kilometre or there-about over the sand dunes and onto Geltwood Beach. Here we set up to take some photos and watch the waves coming into shore.

All too soon it was time to make our way back to pick up my grandson and return home, with a short stop at the Mt Burr / Millicent lookout for some photos of the sunset.
