 Taroona

We met at Melinga Beach. The weather forecast wasn't very promising and the sky was half blue and half dark grey. 

Great Crested Tern

Looking across the Derwent

Trying to establish accurate lunch numbers

Yay!

We walked northwards in front of Taroona High School to Dixons Beach area.

Kelp Gull

Wondering what Wayne was taking us to see... oh right, a shipping container!

We continue with various degrees of elegance

Looking colourful

We come to the end of the trail as further progress is inadvisable, due to falling rocks and earth

We return via the High School and see it from a new angle

Along the beach

And then up to the track, more elegance!

Onto Taroona Beach

Batchelors Grave

To go along the beach...

...or through the bush

The welcome lolly break, thanks Jo.

We've made it as far as Hinsby Beach

Pied Oystercatchers

At the end of Hinsby Beach we realized it was time for lunch and headed back along the beaches.

There were 22 Ramblers. Lunch was at Picnic Basket
