Especially at Christmas when the island turns into a virtual tent city
with
a huge population.
There are a number of barges that run back and forth to the mainland, from
Moon Point, Kingfisher Bay and also Inskip Point, but I dare say there
would
have been a heck of a line up waiting to get on them.
Once they put the wind up everyone and thought that the original Low
pressure system was going to turn into a Cyclone most campers packed up
and
left.
I guess the eastern Beach would have looked like Sydney's Parramatta Road
in
full peak hour!!
It would have been an interesting site for sure Dave!!
