Gnaraloo Helicopter Trip 2012

Beautiful piccies. I really like the 1st one which shows that Tombies really sticks out almost like a point. When you are driving along in the car you don't get the full perception of this.

Can't wait for the movie to come out, when will it be available?

Awesome - now half of the euros do to

Yeah seems that way.
Downside is the inside has 1.5billion razorblades, every variety of poisonous sea-dweller known to man, and is ankle deep.

Your usual high standard Col, thanks for sharing

Done well Col to get a chopper that far up the coast, your photos leave Google earth for dead.

You obviously haven't been there. A lot of people wear booties with hard souls because the reef where the waves break on is sharp rock which is pitted with sea urchins, inside that is a long and wide shallow lagoon which is a nightmare to cross at low tide. The number one rule there is don't put your feet down which is easier said than done when the Stag-horn is popping the surface.
I've been caught out wavesailing out the back and didn't notice how low the tide went and was a maze of coral to walk through carrying the the board, often having to back track with dead ends. By the time I got back in (well over an hour) the sail was sucked over a coral head (write off), holes in the board and wettie, shredded boom grip and an extra week off work to let my feet heel. That's the worst I've had but is a common sight seeing first timers doing the walk of shame as well as a few regulars. I don't like to wear boots because they can get stuck in the straps and loose feel for the board and always come back home limping from reef cuts but the waves can be worth it.
It's true that it can produce some of the best waves in Oz but with high reward comes high risk and is by no means a user friendly spot. For anyone heading there for the first time make sure you bring Ding Stick, Gaffa tape, spare fins and a first aid kit with extra bandages and Tea-tree oil, your a long way from anywhere if things go wrong.
