Trial Bay, Arakoon: Get Out Free

We had breakfast on our picnic table seated above the beach. Olive had a play in the sand, while we waited for the office to open. As expected, it was too good to be true, and we had to move campsites. The new site is not too bad, and worth staying around for another day. The morning was spent exploring the Trial Bay Goal, built in the 1890’s so that prisoners could build a sea wall, which was never completed. Later it was used for the internment of Germans during the First World War. It is half in ruins, but very interesting. Olive loved running in and out of cells, and at one stage got stuck trying to squeeze through the bars. After Olive’s afternoon nap, we went for a walk to the striking Little Bay and then back for a swim in the ocean out from our campsite. Just spectacular!
