Cape DesLacs 25 Jan 2022.

Today's walk involves beaches, streets, bush and cliff walking that takes us on a circuit of Clifton Beach and Cape Deslacs Nature Reserve. 

The weather is forecast to be cloudy but warm. 

The start of the track takes us through a tunnel of trees on the way to Clifton Beach.

Looks like a couple of Hobbits entering the overhanging trees.

Climbing up to the top of the sand dune behind Clifton Beach.

Clifton Beach panorama from Cape Deslacs to the end of the beach.



A school holidays Surf Camp in progress.

After morning tea in the park behind the Surf Club we followed a track between the houses to Pipe Clay Lagoon.

At the end of the track were a number of interesting letter box designs.

Including a faux Ned Kelly Mask

and a lost Meer Cat.

Setting out along the lagoon shore where the tide was out so far the lagoon looked empty.



Chris looks as though he's not happy but I'm sure it was just the moment the camera snapped him.

Someone lost their watering can some time ago.



We emerged from the bush track to this view across to Tasman Peninsula.


The water was so clear.


A window pain through the rock

Which on a closer look appears to be handmade but?

We are entertained by two Wedge Tail eagles flying above us.

Looking forward to Cape Deslacs.

And looking back to the lunch stop.

A blue bottle jellyfish, one of many on the beach which have been frequently seen over the last month.


We had 11 walkers 4 (of whom had not done this walk before) covered 9.8km over 3.5 hours.
