The End of the Road - Cockle Creek

From Snug we meandered south, via Cygnet.  We resupplied at some roadside stalls and had the pleasure of tasting some of the best cherries we had ever eaten.

We made our way across the rickety old bridge at Cockle Creek, and visited the somber whale sculpture, before setting up camp nearby.

French Admiral Bruni d'Entrecasteaux was the first European to stop by this way, on his search for La Peruse (who sailed into Sydney literally hours after the First Fleet arrived and was subsequently shipwrecked in the Solomon Islands)
