Grassy Point

Just a short walk today starting and ending at Pioneers Park in Sorell.
I set off and did a little loop of Pioneers Park, crossing the Sorell Rivulet and then walking the track until it was going to cross the rivulet again. Here I just started heading down the rivulet to the shore at Pitt Water. It was a little muddy in places but nothing to worry about and soon I was walking along a flat beach.

The beach was a mixture of sand, shells and rocks but very easy walking. I just carried on along the coastline to Grassy Point.

Once Grassy Point came into sight I walked right out to the end and back on the other side. There were a few little ponds or tarns out on the point.

Walking back to the shoreline became a bit muddier as I neared the beach but once again it was not bad enough to cause any concern. I just kept going until I reached the new bridge over Iron Creek for the Arthur Highway and scrambled up to the road and walked the road verge back to the car via Coles car park.

This was a good little flat walk with some nice scenery. It is probably best if done at low tide.
