A mild day today with the forecast of possible rain, so rather than heading to the beach for a swim, we decided to a headland 10 mins drive north of Broulee - Burrewarra Point, seen here in the distance.
An easy walk with glorious views of the coastline and through an amazing banksia forest.
Sand paths all over the headland.
Noisy wattle birds flying in and out of the banksia and bottlebrush bushes.
A concrete bunker, which housed power generators during World War 11. Burrewarra Point was used for submarine surveillance and housed a RAAF radar base and hospital.
View north to Malua Bay.
A seal basking on the rocks
The small solar- powered light tower, which beams out over our local beaches.
A Meadow Argus butterfly
Huge Banksia trees cover the path.
The fruit of the Banksia. Known as Banksia Men from May Gibbs classic Snugglepot and Cuddlepie stories.

Near the carpark a vibrant flowering gum.
The tiny Green Wandering Jew plant.
