I have been to physio this morning and while I was still reasonably mobile, I parked the car at the bottom of our road and walked over to the beach and marina.
Lo and behold tourists have found our local beach!
We live outside the tourist area so not many people find this beach. It is nowhere as crowded as the beaches in Nelson Bay, Shoal Bay or Fingal Bay but some people have found their way here. Maybe some of them are from the Anchorage Resort which you can see in the distance next to the marina.
Lovely shot. I’ve been there too Babs; I lived in Corlette, the Soldiers Point for just over three years when my kids were young. Gorgeous spot - I saw a turtle at the Anchorage on my first visit and was so amazed.
@walksnaplove Fancy that. I remember seeing turtles at this beach but not for a very long time. We have lived here for 27 years. Posted from Melbourne to Williamtown during our RAAF days and decided to stay.
@kjarn I know, someone let the cat out of the bag didn't they
@annied Maybe I should patrol the beach with an AK47, that should convince them to keep quiet.
@olivetreeann Generally people do treat our beaches with respect and take their rubbish home with them. Never seen rubbish left here and we have lived here 27 years.

@boxplayer Good idea
@koalagardens Cooler here today too but heating up again tomorrow apparently. Mid 30s is forecast
@wakelys Hot at the moment here rather than warm. Going to be hot for the next few days too.
@sangwann @marlboromaam @louannwarren @johnfalconer @7oaks_pikachu @bluemoon @happypat @robz Luckily because we live outside the tourist area not too many people know about this beach. Maybe I should walk along the beach telling the tourists that this beach is contaminated and that should get rid of them, ha ha.
Here are sharks at Fingal Bay a few years ago. This was in the mullet season
