I'm back, took my boots off, had a coffee and 30 minute rest

and now for pics 😊

omg, what a beautiful day out there, the tide is very low and it's sunny and mild

the tide is low and all the dogs and their friends are out on the flats 🐕🐶

this is as far as I got, 50 metres short of my goal of getting to the small creek , after the fence it's a true mangrove swamp with no sand and nothing but mucky mud, I saw fox prints in the mud and if a fox sinks more than 5 cm into the ooze I have no hope , even the sand where I was was getting unstable

a view looking back at the city

a murex shell in situ , it's the big shell with a flange
