Gents/ladies,

I just thought I'd make you guys/girls aware that close to the other end (the end closer to Kurnell) of Towra there is a pipe with lots of oysters in the water. The pipe can be seen at low tide, but is impossible to be seen at mid/high tide. Falling on that pipe will cause some serious injuries and/or damages to your board.

The pipe is located close to the large wooden branch that is lying on the beach. It is actually exactly in front of one of those little warning signs that are placed towards that end of the beach.

So be aware of it....

Thanks for the heads-up moritz. Does the pipe look well stuck or do you think it could be removed? It sounds like something that would be worth doing given the number of people over at Towra these days.

Can you give a bit more detail on where the pipe is? I've uploaded a photo of the area - can you remember roughly where it was?

Hey Moritz just hit it. That's what pipes are made for. Scrape the oysters off with your board.

The pipe is located about 50 meters before the magroves that start where the beach ends (towards the Kurnell side of Towra not the Dolls side). At high tide it's probably 3-4 meters from the beach.

There is a big part of a tree lying on the beach and next to it a little sign. It's exactly at the level with the sign.

Jeff, the pipe is sticking out vertically. So not really ideal for sliding.

I tried to pull it out, but it's not going to be super easy. Especially since there are a lot of oysters sticking around it. So it's really hard to get a good grip on it. Maybe we can attach a 2 L Coke bottle to it... as a marker...

Anyway, I just thought I'd pass it on given there are some keen mangrove jumpers around and falling on that pipe would cause some serious damage...
