Grey Day at Red Rock

We're spending a few days in a rental cottage at Red Rock, a small coastal village 2 hours drive south of Lennox Head. Our timing has not been great - we're in a weather system where warm and moist tropical air is intersecting with cooler southern air creating unstable conditions with showers and thunderstorms. This morning was fine enough for us to do a 3km walk around parts of Corindi Creek. The view is across the creek towards Red Rock Headland.

There was once a very Black Day in Red Rock. In the 1880s, colonial settlers massacred a number of Gumbaingirr First Nations people at Red Rock, by driving them off the headland to their deaths. Their descendants still refer to the place as Blood Rock.
