Cape Conran Coastal Park and the Curlip

After a morning of touring Orbost the group headed to the Cape Conran Coastal Park. Once again we had fantastic weather and experienced beautiful beaches.

We were able to enjoy a walk on the beach and coastal board walk. We had a bbq in the park and then headed off to Marlo.

It was a great day for an icecream at the local convenience store owned by Rotarian Brian Shelley. Thank you for the icecream!!

We then enjoyed a ride on the steamer "Curlip." The P. S. Curlip was rebuilt by the community and only recently opened for tours in December 2008. We took a tour down the Snowy and Brodribb rivers right to its entrance to the ocean. We had great views of the local peligans and other animals.

We attended a joint Rotary meeting of all the surrounding Rotary Clubs. The flowers and food were excellent. It was a bittersweet meeting having to say goodbye to our Orbost host families but hello to our Mitchell River host families.
