<< Plan B: Canto Campground

08/28/24 - Redgate Beach

From Perth, we drove to Yallingup in the Margaret River region. It's noted as wine country, but there's a long coastal hiking track that runs from Cape Leeuwin to Cape Naturaliste that we hoped to explore. Unlike some wine areas, the wineries are spread out, and there are other farms with cattle, deer, sheep, hops and the like.

Our first hike on our first day started at Redgate, a wild sandy beach south of where we were staying. The scenery was spectacular, but we only got so far. There had been recent rains, so the little stream that ran over the beach and met the tides was in full flow and too deep for us to wade. We backtracked, and our guide turned to plan B.
