Duct tape to the rescue

Twelve club members joined me for a 6km afternoon walk along the beaches of Broulee, a circuit around Broulee Island and back to the Broulee Brewery for a refreshing beverage. It was quite humid so the cold drink was very welcome.

The group chatted about the history of Broulee Island, with some discussion on the fact that it is connected to the mainland by a sandy tombolo. We found remnants of the old wharf, as it was a bustling port in the 1840s. An interesting bone was found and later classified as a humpback whale vertebrate.

Kay was up to her usual tricks on my walks as her shoes fell apart. As she now carries a whole roll of duct tape, we patched her up quickly and she was on her way again.

All in all, a great way to spend an afternoon in Broulee.
