Friday 27 January
Pick up was an early 0830 and we had been warned that the 2.5 hour drive was over rough terrain. Luckily Nobby, our driver, had a modified LandCruiser which did make it an easier and more comfortable ride than a Defender.
Volunteer Point is a well trodden path by the day trippers from the cruise ships but luckily today there were few other visitors. The attraction of the location is the King Penguins who are nesting at this time of year. But rather than start at the nesting sites we headed to the white sand beach where the action was taking place.
