Armed with my Infrared converted Nikon D7100 and 16-85mm lens I went down the wooden steps to the Beaumaris foreshore opposite Haydens Road.
It was a very low tide - I used to live in the area from the mid 1950s for twenty plus years and I cannot remember such a low tide. I walked eastwards along the sand dunes and exposed coral covered sandstone rocks. Of course one walks out to the "Triangle" on Ricketts point. There is another inverted triangle further inshore. Lining the two up in the past represented the start (or end) of a nautical mile for a vessel moving in a SE or NW direction. The other end was at Quiet Corner but the two triangles there have long disappeared. By timing the passage one could determine the speed in Knots.
There also used to be many more bathing boxes (in the 1960s) along the beach below Dalgetty Road - only three remain.
