Pot Bay

Monday 26th June 2017

Pot Bay
We started today's walk at the beach end of Algona Street at South Arm. The first 2.5 kms. was along the beach where the tide was on the way in and there was a cool breeze blowing but it was pleasant walking on the hard sand.

At the end of the beach we left the beach and walked along the Blessington Track before descending to the rocks and walking along them for a while before regaining the track once again.

We soon rounded Johns Point and descended to Fort Beach where we started to see the Fort Direction Military Site. This beach was also easy walking.

At the end of Fort Beach we entered the Fort Direction site and inspected the Lone Pine Memorial before walking down to the beach on Pot Bay, and then to the end of the beach and along the rocks for a short distance. This was our destination.

On Cape Direction
We walked back to the car, staying on the track this time and once back at South Arm we walked along the track that follows South Arm Road for a bit of variation.
