One of the group's most popular walks which needs to be done when the temperature is right, so a winter walk for us. Starting at Pat Morton’s lookout and on to Shelley Beach and return.
At times we have to walk on the beach and at other times through grass parkland and on man-made pathways so quite a variety today. Be prepared for all types of terrain including a couple of testing hills towards the lookout. A lovely walk with some distance to please those that like the slightly longer walks, so as they know they have walked a walk.
1 hr 30 minutes from Helensvale at the northern end and only 1 hr from the south, so in range of everyone who wants a different type of walking day out with the group.
Medical emergency: Please carry some first aid with you on every walk. As a minimum it should be a good 100m strong crape bandage. In chemists from $10-12), elastoplasts, medical tape, plus anything you consider an essential. Accidents can a DO happen on our walks, don’t think it won’t be me and don’t expect others to be carrying your emergency supplies if you do have a mishap. A strong bandage to support a badly twisted/sprained ankle will get you home safely or a broken one back in less pain and agony. Remember we are responsible for our own self and that includes emergency procedures.
