Hey Jeepers, I am thinking about grabbing a kayak to bring up, having not used one before I was wondering how the tidal flow is around the area. I would hate to get washed out to sea.

Yeah, bring it up, you'll be fine, just as my learned colleague suggested.

Hey, by he way.....

only 23 days to go too.

I can't believe how fast the days are counting down leading up to this. :D
Is it directly proportional to the list of things I need to get done before we leave ??? Is anyone ready to go at a moments notice and the days are counting down slow for them?

Jeepers, I believe we'll need a Vehicle Access Permit to drive on the beach, is that correct? Can we pick that up in Rainbow or do we need to get it beforehand?

yes and no you can drive on at the rainbow end and drive south to middle rocks without a permit and also inskip point
but will need a permit for the rest of the beach
