Walking track, that is.
This track shows a walking path along the Burrum Heads sandbank at low tide out to the last channel marker and back, a return trip of about 8.5km.http://www.ka72.com/viewge.aspx?fid=12965&tid=0
There is a pinch about half way along, which is where I had to wade over a washout, about knee deep, that now bisects the sandbank. This washout was not there a few years ago, as far as I remember.
Track recorded on my Nokia mobile using SportsTracker software, then exported as GPX and uploaded to KA72.
Cheers,
Dylan.
It's a bit freaky to think that you are walking out 4.5kms into the ocean, and knowing you have to allow enough time to get back again before the water comes up, which can happen very quickly.
I went out on one of the lowest tide days of the year, and there is a window of about 4 hours where you can comfortably and safely do this.
