Ed, yes, there were heaps of container ships in the background. It's near Newcastle ports.
James, no, they weren't. The RAV isn't that heavy on this bit of sand but I did make tracks that deep in the really soft stuff. I found it better to create my own tracks on certain sections but in others, better to follow the tracks like a train. The overall >1hr drive round trip is not something to enjoy too long if you end up having to dig the car out or burning a clutch like what I had to go through.
Btw, around the boat is a fantastic place to catch some fish so it's not all sightseeing.
A quick drive to the to watch tonights lightening storm, used bulb mode with a hat over the lens no cord release though. First time taking lightening photos bit hard trying to hold an umbrella and the shutter button down and not being blown away
