Last week we ended our walk near Hen and Chicken Bay, I was expecting lots of chook references in the blog, but...............
as we continue on the shore we discover some French (Canadian) Connections - Canada Bay, Exile Bay and France Bay. A little known episode in our history is revealed; after the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1838, 60 rebels were deported to Australia and spent their time constructing Parramatta Road and collecting oyster shells for making lime. Bayview Park has a memorial to these rebels, you can read more on Wikipedia.
Starting in Charleton Street, Abbotsford, we follow the shore as far as possible, looking across the bay at the Animal Quarantine Station and other POIs from last week.
A loop is not possible, so the ferry from Cabarita Wharf to Abbotsford Wharf leaves at 10.25am, which should be good timing after a coffee on the point.
Steve clocks this at over 8kms so just imagine what my ipod will read.
