My last walk to Duranbah
Beach was not the best of weather so I decided to go back down across
the border into New South Wales, Tweed Heads to be precise. It was a
lovely still morning on the Tweed River, very little movement in the
water just magic. Lots of early morning hopefuls trying to catch a bite,
but judging from their demeanour they were just soaking up the day.
While walking along the
pathway, there perched on a boulder was my first encounter for the
morning with a Bearded Dragon, they seem to know you are taking their
photo, much more accommodating then young children who will run off or
put their heads down or look away when you are ready to snap that photo!
The dragon was happy warming himself in the early morning sun, watching
but not moving.
Not much happening at Dbar, wasn't a good day for
the surf, but a great morning to soak up the views and stop for a
drink of water.
You can walk along the whole length of 'rock
groyne' right to the end and watch the fishing trawlers and leisure
craft negotiating Tweed Bar. This can be a bit hair raising depending on
the weather.
This video below is a
'Virtual Walk' of this beautiful location.
Make sure you are
early if you want to see those 'Water Dragons'
Continuing on my walk passed Duranbah Beach, I started up the pathway
climbing the steps to Point Danger. When you reach
Point Danger it's time to soak in
those intoxicating views on Centaur Remembrance Walk, Tweet Bar,
Duranbah, Snappy Rocks, how visitors must be impressed with this
location. You just don’t know where to look first!
Snappy Rocks is a unique spot, it changes from day
to day and the view from Remembrance Walk is Spectacular. Take your time
looking around
Point Danger the location is
brimming with history.
Memorial Plaques are positioned along 'Remembrance Walk' take a few
moments to read them.
The boardwalk ramp descending to Snapper Rocks is
very accommodating to many groups, whether you are pushing a stroller or
taking the grand parents out for the day. Be careful still takes a bit
of energy but well worth the effort.
Snapper
Rocks has a pathway which winds around to Rainbow Bay. Take note of the
large green frog painted on the rock. Not sure of the history associated
with it. (But
I'm sure someone will tell me)
Rainbow
Bay what a fabulous family beach. The pathway meanders around from
Snappy Rocks to this little piece of paradise. This is one of the safest
areas to swim on the Gold Coast but that still means swim in between the
flags!
Lifeguard
Tower Number 1 the first official Lifeguard tower on the Gold Coast and
approximately 39 along this stretch of paradise.
