Deepwater National is just south of Agnes Water on the Discovery Coast. There are extensive dune systems, with thick coastal vegetation dominated mainly by grevilleas and banksias. Springs Beach and Deepwater are two of my favourite beaches, mainly because the dunes are so huge and there are plenty of game trails winding through them, perfect for exploring. Lots of cool plants and animals too.
Deep water has three camping areas, Flat Rock, Middle Rock, and Wreck Rock.
We headed out to Deepwater on a lovely cloudy rainy day, to have a squiz at the camping sites to decide where we wanted to camp if we ever camped there. And of course we went to splash through the puddles and have a fish.
Once again, I was in Pikey's car.
Turnoff to the Deepwater track.
Everyone loves puddles!
Made it to Flat Rock! Deepwater has a really imaginative naming scheme.

A mad dash back to the cars before the heavens open
Middle Rock!
Barnacles and chitons everywhere
And sea cucumbers!
And some anemones for good measure.
Quick stop at Middle Rock, and then we're on our way to Wreck Rock to see the sights and fish.
The sane people took refuge in the cave.
Flow banded rhyolite. All part of the
Agnes Water Volcanics from the Late Triassic.
Michael and Pikey fishing. Didn't catch anything, what a surprise.
Pandanus are so cool.

And then we went home!
