Hillocks Drive

Yesterday I went to Hillocks Drive for the first time and the photos just don't do it justice. It was terrible weather, but the Drive is like Innes National Park without safety stuff everywhere. No fences, no warning signs, just pure open wilderness.

This is the end of the 'left' road - I don't think they've named this spot (couldn't find it on their map), but its very pretty :)

The rocks at Hillocks are just huge. Its impossible to convey their size unless you see it for yourself. The ocean was so wild, crashing into the rocks and reefs. I could have watched it for hours!

There are heaps of tidal rock pools - and I don't mean just little bucket size pools, some are so big that you could swim in them. There are little fish and a few crabs and all sorts in these incredible pools.

I took this shot from where we decided to try fishing. Lots of bites, but James only caught one rock cod (returned to a nearby rock pool ala Rex Hunt), but the waves were so fierce, crashing against this particular bit of rock. It was just amazing. Got a bit scary in the end actually with the tide rising (knowing that its very possible to drown while rock fishing).
