Well fellow FW'ers that love coming up to fish off the little jetty or land based, RIP to Coolimba.

Just come back from a drive up that way and the road to the jetty is gone, only can get to the small jetty by engaging 4wd. There used to be a T-junction right to the jetty, left to the shacks that were left, no more only can go left to the shacks if you haven't got a 4wd, the small shed (jetty) that was there has one support dangling free, another big storm, think it will be swallowed up by the sea.

Jetty is badly damaged, newer planks (put maybe at the beginning of the cray seasons) on are half hanging into the water.  On the actual jetty where the cray boats come and tie up to, the left hand side of the wooden planks are hanging half into the water.  Massive amounts of seaweed are on the jetty.  Further to the right of the jetty and looking towards the beach, beach looks a lot cleaner than the last time we were there, a lot of seaweed has gone, water is still dirty, maybe take awhile to settle down to clear water.

To the left of the bay has been reclaimed by the sea all sand, right to the point be plenty of beach area once the sand has settled down and hardened, pretty soft when we went through but got through.  Couldn't believe how the first big storm had done so much damage or reclaimed a lot of the beach, dumped heaps of sand, should be a nice clean beach.

Can still see the people camped there at Easter, some where the ocean has reclaimed the land near the jetty, right around to the point at the left hahahah Nature is good.

All the tracks to LA, Point Liouse, entering from the gravel road off of Indian Ocean Drive (near the Tip) were all full of water/seaweed.  Grader was their pushing some of the water/seaweed off the roads, high tide didn't help either. As we drove through the surge was still coming in and dumping water on the tracks.   But was brilliant to watch the storm come in from Point Liouse, sea spray was all over the car, had to hose my baby down when we got home.

 EDITED...........SHOULD HAVE BEEN COOLIMBA ........... NOT ILLEWONG, BLONDE MOMENT or senior moment hahaha

PS.............after the blow the crays are running, friends are getting their limit (big jumbo's in the pots) every day they have gone out after the storm, roughly about  4miles out

Thats its folks, Leeman Report after the storm
