MAKE A BOOKING

Take the time to connect and reconnect on this adventure. New members take the opportunity to find out who we are and how AW works; existing members come and reconnect with the AW cohort and of course with the beautiful outdoors.

On the low tide we are venturing onto King Island in Moreton Bay. The low tide exposes a sand bridge between Wellington Point (Cullen Cullen) and King Island (Yerubin or Erobin) and this stunning causeway of golden sand is a popular place for locals and visitors alike. It is a surreal experience.

The tiny island is full of romantic charm and history. There are history boards on the island about the Philips family who lived on the island one hundred and ten years ago. Birds also seek out the peace and isolation of King Island. Caspian terns, Red-capped plovers, Australian pied oystercatchers, Striated herons and Mangrove gerygones can be spotted all year round. These island natives are joined by many more migratory birds in summer.

The walk is very exposed so layer on the sunscreen, wear a long sleeve shirt and grab a big hat. No hiking boots required, just wear something suitable for firm sand walking.

This is a lovely social stoll, with a pantry treat and a cuppa in the nearby park when we finish our walk. Feel free to bring along a plate to add to the morning tea feast

Please note:  Toilet Facilities are available at the meeting place.
