Muirs on the move Farm bay via Coffin bay

We called into  Coffin bay itself for a visit. It was worth the drive in. The caravan park stretched along the foreshore, following the road along further we came to the boat ramp and a playground and the public toilets.
The kids loved it here as they are major producers of oysters and the fisherman where constantly coming and going. The kids where able to ask loads of questions.
We stretched our legs and were keen to get to our camp site which was around the bay about 70km.
We pulled up at Farm beach and took the quick 2 min drive around the caravan park. John and I looked at each other and thought maybe we should keep moving on as it was nothing special at all.That was until we stopped and talked with another camper who told us where the beach was. So caravan in tow we go over the smallest of hills only to find the nicest looking beach I have seen since we left Vic. We quickly turned around and found the camp spot that was closest to the beach, set up camp and went exploring.
There was a driving track along the coast signed Gallipolli. Along the drive we found the most beautiful secluded beaches. Gallipolli was an amazing secluded beach with gorgeous sandstone cliffs.
Dolphins, white sand clear blue water just magic, reminded me of stuff I had only seen on the TV.
We came back to camp and got the kids kite out and went back down the beach to fly it. The conditions where perfect and off course the boys just couldn't resist the water. Mum got handed the kite and the kids went swimming. For the first time I really felt like this is what its all about. Very happy and content we all went off to bed ready for the next days adventures.
