8.1  

It is always nice to go back to where I finished my last walk and start the next one.

From Badangi Reserve it is clearly visible that Berry Island was once an island.

Walking directly around the northern edge of Balls Head Bay is only possible at low tide, unless one takes off shoes, rolls up pants and takes good care around slippery rocks. 

I came across what looked to me like an old Aborigine mitten, exposed by erosion.

 A well sign-posted trail through Bangandi Reserve leads to Wollstonecraft Bay.

There a little off the track I stumbled across a humpy. Maybe some kids practised their bush skills and what they had learned in school about traditional Aboriginal shelters.

And through the bushes I could see the modern housing development where once the North Shore Gas Works stood.
