Notes
With the recent rainfall tree ferns and logs are on the beach some of which may have been uncovered after the high river flow and high tides and some have probably washed down. Helen reported that they have been picking up hundreds of rubber bands which are used in making friendship bracelets. These would have been washed down the river during the January flood and have been embedded in the sand on the beach and now being uncovered by rain and tides.
