Our walk today is on coastal tracks around the village of Kettering.
The walk started with quite a lot of cloud but cleared throughout the day.
Heading down through the park towards the Kettering Marina.
After walking along the road towards the Bruny Island ferry terminal we headed towards the track to Trial Bay. We were moving a lot faster than the line-up of cars and motorhomes waiting to embark on the Ferry.

Common Heath alongside the track.
This little baby Blue Tongue Lizard crossed the road in front of the group and promptly hid under the front wheel of a parked car. We all waited until it emerged and disappeared back into the long grass.
Your can see how small he was against the tread pattern of the tyre.
Heading back along Jetty Road from the Ferry Terminal.
The marina has grown from one pontoon about 20 years ago.
Following the track behind the marina.
A large billboard in memory of the indigenous people of the area.
This statue commemorates the local WestWinds Community Centre.
Heading along Manuka Road before turning down to the d'Meure Track along the foreshore.
I'm guessing this road was named well before the controversy with our New Zealand cousins about the use of the name Manuka.

but ending up beating a retreat and following the track.
A pleasant lunch spot.
Looking towards Barnes Bay.
Heading to the end of the track at Oyster Cove.
A serene anchorage.
