This walk is a return walk along the foreshore from Lewisham to Red Ochre beach via the Tiger Head Track and back to Lewisham.
The forecast is sunny with little breeze a perfect day for walking on the beach.
Leaving the Lewisham Boat Ramp.
The track follows the shoreline towards Dodges Ferry.
The view towards Dodges Ferry.
Across the bay to Seven Mile Beach Pine Plantation.
There are a number of private boat sheds along this track.
On the beach and looking for a morning tea site.
Using the bridge as the tide is high.
A bevy or wedge of swans enjoying the calm day on the lagoon.
A huge lump of timber that at a distance someone commented that it looked like a sea elephant on the beach.
The sandstone rocks showed a variety of colors.
Tiger Head in the distance.
A short sojourn inland around the streets was necessary because of the high tide and we returned to the foreshore at the Dodges Ferry boat ramp.
More private boat sheds.
Looking back the way we have come.
Lunch on the southern side of Tiger Head with a magic view across Spectacle Island.
Lunch over we descend on to Red Ochre Beach before returning to the cars.
This route allowed us to follow the foreshore despite the tide.
Although some thought is was easier and a pleasant day for a little paddle.
One of the many trees towering over the track.
Back on the sandstone shows how far the tide has now dropped making it very easy to walk on the beach area.
Mount Wellington from the beach.
The formations and colours of the sandstone were stunning.
The bridge we crossed on the way in is about fifty meters to the right and the creek was hardly flowing.
An aircraft jet trail in the sky that some one thought was heading to Chile.
A very pleasant days beach walking.
We had 21 walkers today who covered 10.7kms in just under 4 hours with stops and climbed a total of 60 meters.
