We meet at Gillies Bay Ballpark at 10:00am.
Last week we hiked south along the Davie Bay road and down a short side road to the lovely picnic spot at the mouth of Stromberg Creek. On the way down the hill the sound of the creek could be heard as it roared down rapids and waterfalls, one about 30 feet high and quite spectacular, close by in the forest. Just before entering the sea the creek plunges down the last of many falls and passes under a sturdy but rustic footbridge. On the far side we sat on the beach logs and ate lunch. About a hundred years ago the Stromberg family of Van Anda had a summer cabin on the small patch of flat land just behind us and would spend time hiking and fishing and sometimes entertain visitors travelling by small boat up and down this quiet stretch of coastline. I know this because one of the two children, Edith Poock, told me of her pleasant memories of summers spent here.
