Stokes bay

Continuing further west after leaving the castle, we came to Stokes Bay which would be our campspot for the night

 

These signs are on all the beaches, to take care of Hooded Plovers nesting

 

Stokes Bay was divided up into a Soldier Settlement after end World War 11. About 140 families moved into area to take up farming

 

To get to the lovely beach we need to walk through the rock passage to rock pool & beach. Apparently one of the soldiers spent many months finding a way through the rocks to enable the families to enjoy the crystal clear waters of beach & pool
