Gorringes Beach

 Gorringes Beach

We met at the end of Rifle Range Road. The junction with Gellibrand Drive confused a few drivers. 

This is an easy walk along the beach with a return through the bush and dunes behind the beach.

A faint rainbow greeted us at the finish







There were 13 Ramblers, lunch was at Angie Sue.
