Report:

We started the walk at 8:15am - earlier than originally scheduled, thinking it was going to be a stinking hot day. It was bright and sunny but as it turned out we had a cool breeze behind us most of the day. The low tide also meant that we were able to walk on sections that were normally underwater.

We followed the paths from Thunder Point to the Shelly Beach and then walked along the sand. We tackled a few rocky areas and then hit the long beach beyond Levy’s Point. The sand got firmer and the going easier. Beyond the cutting there were quite a few people about – fishing and the like.

At Killarney we had lunch in the BBQ/picnic area beside the oval/campground. And visited the new toilet facilities of course! From there it was only another 1.5 hours to Port Fairy. We saw some lovely (and inviting) rock pools, and quite a few birds.

Marg’s husband Ken joined us just before Port Fairy – and then we all went on to Rebecca’s for a well earned drink and cake.

Many thanks to all for a great walk!

Lothar
