Rob presenting his geology lesson.

All accounted for after our leap over the gap behind.

How it’s done with long legs.

Luckily for the group the rain stopped before we started winding our way south on the South Coast track. We then crossed west over the Old Coast Road on the forest tracks stopping at an open area for morning tea.  The colours and gnarly shapes of the wet gums were striking and we were in awe of the vegetation.

We made our way back over to Myrtle Beach and onto Dark Beach for lunch and even a swim. Rob was asked and then explained why the beach is black.  Next stop was the dyke at Emily Miller Point. To take the jump or not…. decision made, and all jumped over. We then made our way over the rocks/rock platforms down to the shore. Just about everyone had their photo taken standing in front of the gap. One of the group suggested it was like having wedding photos taken.

Rob explained how the dyke came about and gave an overview of the geology of the area. Thanks very much Rob.  We then made our way up onto Wasp Head via rock platforms and beach, arriving back at the cars just in time for the rain.

A great day had by all, Durras in all its glory.
