During my last days in Maclean, when the town was no longer totally besieged by flood waters, I spent time with my friends Raph, Bernie and Mim in Yaegl country.
Yaegl is the Goorie (Aboriginal) name for the area around the little coastal town of Brooms Head.

Setting off to explore Yaegl country, Bernie and Mim opted to take the path that runs along the top of the headland before descending to a sandy beach. Raph and I, with our history of roving, chose to follow a creek bed down a rather steep incline to a small rocky beach. From here we followed the coastline along the base of the headland to the main beach.

Above: A great shot by Raph!
Above and below: Washed out and washed up! That was the fate of this hay bale that must have been washed out to sea by the recent flooding further inland, and then washed up on the beach at Brooms Head.
