Bellerive Beaches

 Bellerive and Howrah Beaches

Low cloud and smoke from forestry burn offs combined to make today misty and blurry. But some people are happy to be here.


Yay!


We set off from Bellerive Beach Park



What is so interesting?


Someone found a lost card.



Onto the beach



kunanyi Mount Wellington is only just visible


Second Bluff in the distance















Up the steps onto the bluff...


...where we stop for a lolly break




Darwin's Trail, he was here in 1836. Possibly on his 27th birthday.


A recent rock fall 


Our destination... Howrah Beach




An old rock fall at the western end of Howrah Beach





Not much of a view 




A few people made it as far as Little Howrah Beach, conveniently.


Others returned via Wentworth Park




The old steps from Howrah Beach onto Second Bluff



Gadget for fishing boats


Views down into the sea from Second Bluff



Onto Bellerive Beach 



Interesting name on this little boat



There were 15 Ramblers. Lunch was at the Waterfront Hotel
