Walk along our first beach

We walk down to a beach, our first beach for this trip along the Yuraygir Coastal Walk from Red Cliffs to Red Rock? How many beaches will we walk? Sandon Beach, an 8-kilometre stretch, Minnie Water Beach then Minnie Back Beach, Diggers Beach, Wooli Beach. They’re all different, all interesting, with plenty of variety off the beaches to enjoy too. Rock platforms to be negotiated. Rivers to cross by boat. Creeks to wade through. Low tide to adjust our walking pace. Fisherpeople laugh and joke with us. The expanse of the Pacific Ocean at our left, a constant companion. Several days of watching waves yet every day they’re new, every moment they’re new. Every beach is new to us; every one worth walking.
