Warderick Wells

Warderick Wells is the head office of the Land and Sea Park. Its so beautiful! We walked to the top of Boo Boo hill, thats Rob admiring all the boat names at the top. Its traditional to leave your boat name up there. Apparently, at night you can hear the cries of the sailors who lost their lives when a ship was wrecked there many years ago.
The skeleton is of a 57 foot Sperm Whale, it has been re-created right on the beach.
As this is a conservation area I was able to enquire about the life cycle of the Conch shell, it takes 4 years to grow to maturity and can get to 40years of age.
