Lewisham - Tiger Head - 26 May 2026

Our walk today is from the boat ramp at Lewisham to Tiger Head and return.

The boat ramp and threatening rain clouds in the distance . 

Heading along the foreshore track.

Admiring the views across to Seven Mile beach area.

New fencing to protect the sand dune against further erosion.

While we have walked along parts of the beach today the tide is so low that we will be walking the whole way on the beach itself.

Doing a bit of exploring the nature.

The view back to some of the boatsheds.

Walking in a bit of light drizzle.

Some of the local shorebirds feeding.

 

The clouds still look fairly ominous.

Then the sun started to break through while we stopped for morning tea.

Some of the group thought this old stump looked like a horse head.

A white faced Heron searching the shoreline for a feed.

Looking towards Tiger Head.

And the sun continues to shine.

Heading towards the track behind the Tiger Head boat sheds.

Looking down from the Tiger Head track onto a colorful jetty decking. 

Looking back towards the Dodges Ferry boat ramp.

Some of the rock formations from the track.

Spectacle and Little Spectacle Island although the largest island is Little Spectacle Island according to Google.

After walking around Tiger Head and having lunch in the well equipped Boat Park we head back to the beach in the sun and start back to the cars.

This crab posed quietly for the photo just a pity it was deceased.

The tide has come in quite a distance and we are hoping that we can complete the return journey along the beach without any rain.

There have been some busy critters leaving trails in the bottom small pools.

Coral like features cover the rocks in this area of the beach.

A dessicated large moth found on the track.

 

We had 10 walkers who covered just under 10kms in just under 4 hours with negligible climbing.

The weather forecast of up to 30 mls of rain probably accounts for a smaller than usual group, however we were extremely lucky that with the exception of the first hour having a little drizzle we were dry until we returned to the cars.

Thanks to Mendelt and Chris for their photos. 

Lambert Avenue to Mt Nelson return - 19 May 2026

 We are walking from Lambert Avenue, Sandy Bay to the Mount Nelson Signal Station.

Leaving Lambert Park. 

Very casual walking today.

Starting the climb.

Morning tea finished and still happy climbers.

Map of Tasmania with the Furneaux Islands and King Island rock stack alongside the track that looks suspiciously like it might have been added to by some of the group.

A glorious day for a panorama from the Signal Station.

 

Our leaders making plans for the return journey.

One lonely Scarlet Robin trying to hide in the bushes. (not very clear photo though)

Rather than have to walk on some of the suburbs streets our leaders take us cross country.

On coming across this poor creature on our cross country someone commented "remains from the skeleton of the last person to pass this way".

Out of the bush and now back on the track.

There were 17 walkers who covered 7.7km in just over 4 hours climbing and descending 320m. A good walk that was enjoyed by all.

Thanks to Chris and Mendelt for their photos and comments.
