Corio Bay : The Outlet of Waterpark Creek

Yesterday we had lunch at the Rydges Homestead like we often do, but this time we continued driving up to Corio Bay, which is the outlet for Waterpark Creek to meet the ocean. We took a kite along, I think it is called a delta, but it didn’t work properly (kept wizzing around in circles). I didn’t enjoy our last visit (about 2 and half year ago) to Corio Bay very much, because there were heaps of sandflies and we went for a really long walk. This time we couldn’t go for a walk because the outlet had changed direction, but there was still plenty of bities around.

You can get a good idea of what Corio Bay looks like by going to Google Maps.

I must warn you however, if you do attempt to go up there be prepared for a fairly bumpy drive as the road isn’t very well maintained.

Corio Bay #1
A view looking across the channel to a headland. I would love to live up there and own a boat so I could explore everywhere, however I don’t think I could get an internet connection very easily :-(

Corio Bay #2
One of the many 4wd’s that enjoy using the beach to drive on.

Corio Bay #3
These signs contain information on the does and don’t at Corio Bay.

Corio Bay #4
The main track used to get on the sand.

Corio Bay #5
This row of posts partly protects the area to the right from being driven on by naughty 4wd’ers.
