BUSHWALKERS ON THE BAY TRAIL
OLD SCOTCH BUSHWALKERS LINE UP IN FRONT OF THE
MCCRAE LIGHTHOUSE
Thirteen Old Scotch Bushwalking Club members travelled to Rosebud on Wednesday 23 February , to participate in a walk along the Bay Trail from the Rosebud Pier to Anthony ’ s Nose in Dromana . It was a fine , warm morning , with the temperature in the low 20s at the start of the walk . The sea was a beautiful blue , with some white caps visible as the sea breeze sprang up .
Walkers set off at first on a boardwalk , then through the McCrae camping area . Many campers had set up elaborate lodgings , with caravans supplemented by large tents with dining and living areas – one had a bar , complete with bar stools , tempting our walkers to drop in and order a drink !
After 2km , walkers reached the McCrae lighthouse , which was built in 1883 and decommissioned in 1994 . It had replaced a wooden structure which was later taken in sections by bullock wagon to the top of Arthurs Seat , to be used as a lookout .
The final outward section of the walk was along shaded paths , through foreshore wooded with tea-tree and banksia . Once the walkers reached Anthony ’ s Nose , they turned to retrace their steps . Some walkers branched off to walk the final kilometre along the beach and both groups met almost simultaneously back at the Rosebud Pier . Walkers then drove to Micky and David Ashton ’ s holiday house in McCrae to enjoy lunch .
