At low tide, you can see rockpools with Nudibranch, anemones, all different types of crabs, shrimp, and little fish, and its just gorgeous, and the colours are just stunning.
It’s a delight to come down here on a winter’s day with the sun coming up and there’s no wind and its just beautiful.
You can sit on the rocks, bring a cup of coffee with you, it’s just gorgeous.
You see lots of Australian gannets here. They fish through here. We’ve seen them doing group fishing. Say there’s a dozen birds – they’ll all go up together, ten or so of them will dive together in a ring, and then sort of try and herd the fish. The remaining two birds will wait until the fish come to the surface and then “phew” dive in. And they’ll do that for hours when there’s some baitfish around.
