Description
Take a short stroll through the Mary Knoll Reserve beneath the last stand of black gums in Blackmans Bay. This gully was once full of blackberry and other weeds, but was cleared by Council with the help of volunteers. It now provides a lovely winding walk to the beach alongside one of the few natural watercourses remaining in the suburb. The track crosses the road and continues around the wooded coastal headland past the blowhole. Not so long ago this area was a popular coastal route and gathering place for Tasmanian Aboriginal people. You can still see the shell pieces in the large midden on the headland. These days, the coastline is cared for by the Blackmans Bay Coastcare Group.
