Friday 16-9-22:

I headed in to Coen for supplies then headed South again down the main road until Musgrave Roadhouse where i turned east towards the coast.
I had see Running Creek mentioned so took the road North past Lilyvale station until Running Creek where i stopped at the Rangers office there and grabbed a permit to camp, $15 bucks gave me site 8 so i headed off to find it being the only one out there until later that afternoon.
the sandy sites are huge and about half a Km apart and situated in the shade of the trees overlooking the foreshore and beach about 100 metres away

After the sunrise i headed down the beach for a look, there is a large lagoon behind camp 12 filled with birdlife and possibly a snapping resident or two.

I then headed down to the TO's campground and day use area for a look.

I decided to take the backtrack to Port Stuart but that was a waste of 130 Kms and a few hours of my time, even less to see since my last visit in 1995.
