Stairs to Nun's Beach

For many decades people have accessed Nun's Beach via a track which passes through private property. The property, 'The Retreat' was owned by the Catholic Church, and they tolerated people using it, as long as they did not create any disturbance. The sale of the property saw the new owners exercise their rights and bar people from use. 

This created a problem for the users of Nun's Beach (mostly locals). The only other access is via the sharp rocks around the headland towards the main beach at Rosedale, or a steep and slippery "goat track". 

A new set of stairs has now been built above the "goat track". It was funded by contributions from the Rosedale Association Inc, generous locals, and the Shire Council, who provided the workforce.

Easter Saturday

Easter Saturday is the traditional day for the AGM of the Rosedale Association on the log cabin lawns. I went in the morning. The afternoon we had a good game of tennis at the Malua Bay courts.

Late afternoon, Rosedale Beach

4:17pm - love the colours in the rocks

4:17pm - seems like there's been some storm action

4:37pm

Always great to get down to the beach when we arrive and check out the light and shape of things.

Rosedale Association AGM 7 April 2007

The major topic of conversation was the housing development west of George Bass Drive at

Barlings Beach. It was resolved to put in a joint submission with the Guerilla Bay Association. It is actually closer to Guerilla Bay, but includes the catchment for Rosedale's Saltwater Creek.

Of more immediate interest (as in the immediate vicinity) is the proposed development of Rosedale Farm, right opposite the intersection of Rosedale Parade and George Bass Drive. Which reminds me I had better take some "before" pics before too long!
