This was a really cool tramp from Long Bay Regional Park to Okura return. Timing things right, our mixed group of keen newbies and members had time to scoot around the foreshore, making the most of the very low king tides, at two bays, on a slightly overcast morning. Perfect for a coastal tramp.

We went back along the cliffs, meeting other club members on the way. We were surprised to see that the storm hadn’t caused that much damage.

We spotted a variety of bird life, a monarch butterfly a long way from any swan plants, and lots of pretty coastal copper butterflies, too.

Needless to say, there were lots of photos taken along the way.
