On our visit to the Yacht Club in Coffin Bay, it was suggested that the nearby National Park was an absolutely must see place so off we went.Our first stop was Templetonia Lookout, named for the pea shaped red flowers that grow in the area and are currently in flower. Next we drove to Little Yangie Bay where we were entertained by several wrens that showed no fear, sat on the car, danced at our feet and admired themselves in the reflection on the car windows.
The highlight of our visit, however, was the sighting of several emus and chicks. The emus were very protective but we were thrilled when they crossed the road right in front of our car. We also saw the ‘coat of arms‘- an emu and a kangaroo standing next to each other.
Coffin Bay National Park is also the home of the white bellied sea eagle but unfortunately, we did not have a sighting.

Coffin Bay was one of those places that Graham and I thought about staying in as we travelled around Australia in our younger years. It was just a bit too quiet but we loved it.
I think an emu and chicks would be a sight I would stay far away from. Emus are nasty nasty birds.
You know the best think to do with our coat of arms is eat it.
But don't eat the cute little wrens
