Please watch Youtube "One Last Chance to Save Bastion Point"- This explains the situation better than I can, but the final decision will be made very soon. Breakwalls and boat harbours DON'T make the ocean a safer place when the weather turns sh--t. I had to ditch my tinny on the beach in April due to a 50knt S'west front . Unlless the proposed breakwall went all the way to Gabo Island, there was no way I was gonna make it back!
Bastion's a safe swimming spot for kids, good diving, SUPing, shortboards and good offshore fishing when CONDITIONS allow.
