A Sandy Beach Almanac



You've landed at Sandy Beach, NSW, Australia: Lat. -30.15331, Long. 153.19960, UT +10:00 – local map & zoom Google map. I live in a cabin on this beach, 25 kilometres north of the traffic and shops of Coffs Harbour, 600 km north of Sydney. My intention is to post observations of Nature and life within 1 km (1,000 paces) of my South Pacific home.

I went for a quick flaneur on Sandy at lunchtime today, low tide. And the words of the song came to mind: " ... you wish your tired feet were fireproof". It was pretty hot for this time of year, but at least the crabs were enjoying it.
