Another photo from Soldiers Point last week. This is the jetty and if you look closely, you will see some tiny dots on the sand. They are some of the soldier crabs as they dispersed to get away from people who were passing by.
That jetty is so inviting….you would just be so keen the walk to the end & even better being able to watch those amazing soldier crabs at either side! Soldier crabs at Soldiers Point?
@happypat It didn't get the name Soldiers Point because of the soldier crabs, it was called Soldiers Point because during the early history of Port Stephens, the area was a haven for convicts escaping from Sydney. This led to the establishment of a garrison in 1820, which today is known as Soldiers Point.
