Brooms to Bowls Walkers!
Outline of the day
This year’s Charity Day for Cystic Fibrosis is beginning to ramp up, with lots of past community members reaching out to us, telling us they are looking forward to the event.
Below is an outline of the day and what you might like to bring with you on your walk.
Wards Buses will pick us up from the Yamba Bowlo and transport walkers to Brooms Head.
Please arrive between 7.00 – 7.15 as we would like the bus to leave by 7.30am sharp.
We are starting the walk from the Brooms Head Hall at 8.30am. There are toilet facilities here, Red Cliff, Shelley Beach Camp Area and Angourie Point.
The walk will be along the Brooms Head main beach to Redcliffe. We will climb the stairs at Red Cliff and walk over the headland and back down onto the beach and onto Plumbago Headland.
Once over Plumbago Headland we are back on the beach. Walk along to the small creek outlet (roughly ¾ up the beach) You will need to go off the beach onto the dune track behind the beach. (PLEASE TAKE NOTE: IF YOU CONTINUE ALONG THE BEACH, YOU WILL BE CONFRONTED WITH A STEEP CLIFF. Best going through the little forest walk). Follow the Yuraygir Coast Walk along the track which will bring you around to the Shelley Beach Headland and then onto the camping ground at Shelley (there is a toilet break here). You have made it half way! This is a great spot for a halfway snack.
Continue to walk along Little Shelley Beach to the Northern corner and pick up the track to take you over the headland and along to the old Dirrigan Lookout and from there to the Southern end of Back Beach Angourie. Proceed down the timber steps onto the beach and walk along the beach to Angourie Point and up to Angourie Point Lookout.
From Angourie Point Look Out walk along the road until you come to Barry Street and then down to the Angourie Cafe. Opposite the Angourie Cafe there is a track that will take you back down onto the Spooky’s Beach and around the headland to Greenpoint. (please be careful as the rocks can be slippery).
From Greenpoint along the beach to Pippi Beach and up off the beach at Dolphin Park. Once at the road turn left onto Pacific Pde, walk 30m then turn right into River Street, you are on the final stretch to a well earned lunch and cold drink!
In case you feel you are struggling and need to be collected we ask that you make your way to Angourie Point as this is the first place we will be able to collect you. Please call our representative Tracy on 0455 668 261 or the Yamba Bowlo on 02 6646 2305 and follow the prompts to the bar.
