Save Ocean Beach

Managed to find a tide low enough to get down on the beach and walk along to get some photos, couldn't make the walk all the way along to where they are laying the rock mattresses, as I would have been late for work, well I was 10 mins late as it was. Hard to get a clear shot as no sun gets in to the dune area, feel sorry for the workers, must be cold, look at the frost on the sand on the pic below! The sand thats being washed away already from this buffer is creating a nice surf bank at St Clair too.


Thanks again to Mark for sending me the scanned clips from the ODT, I appreciate it soo much.


And some 'Letters to the Editor' of the ODT newspaper.. plus an Editorial

I mentioned on my blog a few weeks back how the bottom steps closest to the pool were swaying when hit by waves.. council has recognised the need for repairs, and opted for the bandaid approach, filling behind the stairs creating a wedge with concrete.


Above left, workers concreting the concrete wedge in, with inset pic of the poured concrete under the stairs. Right, the other side of the stairs was filled in with the same wedge last week.
