we went for a walk round the dunes and lake near Bethell’s beach.  the blue path was our 7km rather hot and humid walk

these photos don’t do justice to how big these dunes are, so you’ll have to look for people to give you an idea of the scale

the girls slid down (slowly) then had to climb up the near vertical soft sand dunes to get to the top again
