My little sister lives in Kyneton and I'm really tempted to follow her after seeing your pictures.

Gosport is just down the road from me, and from memory the beaches round that way aren't quite as clean. Rolling with laughter

That looks like the very spot, crews control. But please explain the 'bete bolong' ref.

Australia 2011 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 HSE Auto Fuji WhiteDiscovery 4

Thanks for the nice comments on the pics.

I think I fell in love with my Disco all over again this day. I ended up with three 'firsts' getting to this spot -
1. First time using HDC. The aerial view from crews control clearly shows the track leading to the beach, but you really do not appreciate quite how steep the descent is from above. Or how slippery with loose surface. The sign at the top is not kidding - it really is for 4WD only.
2. First time using Sand mode. I was a bit dubious going onto the sand since it was very soft and deep. Fortunately there was another guy there with a fully loaded Land Cruiser. He had an on-board air compressor, so I was able to let my tires down a bit, and was happy to know he had a winch as well should it be needed. I needn't have worried - the Disco took it all in its stride, effortlessly.
3. First time using Low Range. Going back up the steep descent, obviously.

Can't wait to do it again.
