Just
before you reach the Cape
Palliser lighthouse you must keep your eyes open for the nearby
seal colony.
There
are hundreds of the wonderful creatures along the rocks just off
the side of the road - so many you need to be careful when parking
as they are not easy to spot (even when you are expecting them).
You
can get out of your car and move within metres of the seals but
be careful as they are wary and you don't want to be charged by
a large, scared seal! Expert advice is not to get between them and
their escape to the sea.
The
Cape Palliser
seal colony is the highlight of the trip to the lighthouse and
taking time out to just watch the wild creatures up close is something
you will always treasure.
