Newcastle Shoot – Saturday 27th August at South Dudley Beach with Terina Vale

August 27, 2022 @ 5:15 am - 8:00 am

Location Information

Location features (e.g. Beach, Pool, Rockshelf, Waterfall, City views):

Rock shelf with canyons, blowholes and rock pools.  Large shallow pool creates excellent reflections of the sunrise.

Hazards/Dangers (e.g. cliff top, slippery rock shelf, deep holes/pools):
Slippery rock shelf.  The edge of the rock shelf is treacherous – crashing waves with few escape locations if you get swept in.

Fitness requirements? (e.g. long/steep walk, stairs):

Moderate fitness, as quite a long walk from the car park (1,100m) over soft sand and slippery rock shelf.  Can be very tiring despite being level except near the car park.

Additional safety equipment required (e.g. Rock shoes, Flashlights)?:
Torch/headlamp required.  Strongly recommend wearing rock shoes (with spikes) if going onto the rock shelf canyons. Slight chance of rain so you may want to include an umbrella or wet weather camera protection.
