Nuking NSW 47 Posts	Posted 03/07/2012, 9:25 pm I think Brett might have a permit to kite allow kiting there. Please check with him before going. Brett does a great trip combined with some SUP around the mangroves. This place is very tide dependent also and requires boat assistance. This Saturday you probably only have a window of 10am to 3pm before the tide is out and you are on dry reef.
