What shell shall we see at Chelsea?

With a name like Chelsea it just could be Shellsea. But not so!

Beautiful, wide, white beach, cute little jetty, clear blue water, and no litter or seaweed, this DESIGNER BEACH is made in …..Chelsea. But apart from thousands of baby, glossy white bi-valves we found few shell species.

Chelsea Beach... seaweed and shell free

But we struck it lucky with lunch at the nearby CHELSEA KEBAB HOUSE, 438 Nepean Highway. These people are the real deal, providing the best and freshest falafel rolls this side of Turkey.

Point Cooke… worth a look!

Point Cooke Blues Festival was truly out of the blue!

I had no idea it was on till I arrived for a shoreline survey. The festival organisers very kindly allowed us shell snoops in without paying.

You gotta hand it to these people! Hot music with food and creature comforts laid on….. a massive volunteer effort to deliver a great fund-raiser for local projects. But wait! There’s more!!

I had the great pleasure to meet some wonderful people who came to learn about shoreline surveys, including young Cameron who got right down to business. Within seconds of hitting the beach he’d found half a dozen ‘bubble’ shells which I hadn’t met in any other previous surveys around the Bay.
