Meet

10 am – at the first parking area on the left after entry to the Recreation Reserve.


Those not walking can get together under the covered area on the right after entry. An Ice cream shop is available for those who wait for the walkers

Walk

Walk from 10:30am to Noon – The safest path to the sand is to walk towards the toilet block and find the concrete ramp to the sand.

Please don’t try to navigate to the beach from the promenade between the parking area and the beach. The steps are too BIG for safe navigation.

Suggestion

Walkers advised to wear closed shoes.
If you wear sandals, expect shell fragments to be uncomfortable.

Tide info

Barry advises low tide is 11:30am on 22nd May so a dryish walk awaits.

There are about 6 hours between high and low tides so there is no hurry.
We are walking at low tide.
High tide is at ~4:40 am
Low tide is at ~11:30am
High tide is at ~5:40 pm.

What if it rains?

Bring an umbrella and towel

Questions to be answered

1. What are the names of the island?  Can anyone get the right answers?


2. A plaque on the Island indicates someone lived there for a short period. How did they earn an income?
