This morning after an extremely dewy night, we headed off nice and early to the tip of Cape Leveque. Our first stop was One Arm Point where we visited the Ardiyooloon Community and their Trochus Hatchery. The Trochus is a shell fish that contains mother of pearl and they are spawned in tanks before being placed back on the reef to continue growing. The shell is shipped overseas and the meat is considered a delicacy in some overseas countries. There was a touch tank their and Trent had a hold of a pencil urchin.
The views from up here a Ross towards Sunday Island are really something to behold.
From there we headed back to Kooljiman where we enjoyed a coffee at the Cafe before going swimming and snorkelling on the beach on the eastern side of the tip and then fishing on the western side of the tip. There were some beautifully positioned beach shelters to camp at on the eastern side of the tip, at $75 per double, unpowered. Location, location, location.
