Nugget Point and Cannibal Bay

We stop at Kaka point first and then carry on down to Nugget Point. This is so called because there are rocks in the sea that look like Gold Nuggets. There is a walk to the lighthouse which we do and the wind makes it a bit chilly. We do spot some Hooker Sealions mucking about at the base of the cliffs which is cool. We then have a look at Roaring Bay and then head off to Cannibal Bay. This is reputedly the best place to see some Hooker sealions in the Catlins. We arrive at the beach and look around but don't see anything on the rocks - we start to stroll along the beach and then realise that what we thought were driftwood actually are sealions asleep on the beach. We approach carefully and can get quite close (but respecting them as they can run faster than we can - and bite). It was really cool to see these wild animals close up.
