Lincoln National Park

It was a darn hot day when we visited the Lincoln National Park, in fact it was hot every time we were here.  There are plenty of short to long walks in the area and a few camping areas which seemed quite good on inspection, although we did not stay overnight at one. The vegetation is typical of coastal heath and worth a few days looking around. WebSite

Stamford Hill Walk
First a stroll to the beach	Over the other side of the water is Port Lincoln.
	Out of the car park to start the walk	Yes you go straight up to the top, short and sweaty.
	Lots of information panels along the way.	You can catch you breath this way and no one knows.
	Short mallee type gums are typical.	To goal gets closer.
	Half way and already not a bad view.
	Not far now
	A tribute to Mathew Flinders.
		Just do it all over again in reverse! Much easier though.
Lighthouse
Up and around a a few Kilometres away is the Lighthouse	We found the beach more interesting.	I think there Tuna ponds out there in the distance.
Sleaford Mere
A very forgettable walk to this place	a beach of solid rock.	Oh it was hot - why did we bother?  Especially when you can see it from the road if you continue past the NP turn-off.
On the way back near the sea was much nicer	Port Lincoln
		Swans!
Investigator Trail
		We hoped this was a better walk - an it was.
	Dry Salt LAke.
		We went along the Woodcutters Beach track.
	Looks like this machine was used to bash the bush down.
	As we were close to the water, we went over to  take a closer look
A controlled burn near the park entrance.	Great views can be had from the tower look-out on the other side.
		Back along the road
	Every now and then the beach was close bay
The fire is really going now.		A helicopter moves around.
		Parking lot just up ahead and our walk is done.
		Smoke was smelt for the new few days.
