Near Picton is a sheltered collection of bays known as Port Underwood. Of course I had to go check
it out! Looking at Google Maps, it
looked like quite a windy road but that’s part of the adventure right? It did not disappoint. There were some stunning view and some
gorgeous, quiet little bays.
The drive was a little more than an hour but I probably
averaged around 30 km/h so I did end up too far from Picton but that was
actually the plan. The first freedom
camping spot was Robin Hood Bay and it looked fabulous. There was only one other car there when I
arrived although 4-5 more arrived later in the afternoon. I sat on the rocky beach for the latter part
of the afternoon reading a book with just the sound of the waves, oh and that
pesky wind at times…I had to return to Betty a couple of times to put on more
clothes!
The start of Robin Hood Bay, I camped at the far end.
Where I read my book.
The view from where Betty was.
The couple in the first car was a Colombian artist Diego who
has lived in Australia for many years and his German girlfriend Marina. In the evening Diego lit a small fire on the
beach and a young English couple Ally and Emma joined us. It reminded me of many nights camping on the
west coast of Vancouver Island. Nice way
to end a relatively chill day.
