the beach pictures from yesterday πŸ™‚Just the usual, a big jelly fish, shells, a shark egg, an angling float. The cork fishing net float is a rare find, they were used in the 60s , cork lasts very well

Still find it crazy what you're finding at your beach.

I'm starting to wonder if the reason I'm not finding much at my one is because it's right just inside the heads. You do see a whole lot of cool shells at the Lonny lighthouse / rockpools but that's a marine park so big no no I think.

It seems I'm the only one who goes to my beach to beachcomb, others come to walk their dog, take photos of birds, to fish or collect crabs and mussels. It's not a classic sandy beach where people sunbathe or swim, they come to play and do things, and where I walk is far past the popular part and into the wilderness
