I don't see any crisis in that photographic evidence.

It's good that there's been a bit of a buffer reclaimed.. going to need anything that helps in the years to come.

I remember when I was a kid in the 80s and going out fishing on the lower area of the tip. Was out there taking a look last time I was visiting about 18mths ago....man,we were standing right on the edge of 'that'?

Blaketown was a great place to grow up as a young falla.

Arron Stark
It took me way to long to work out the beach has gone out and not in! I'm guessing that's because we are told, everyday that the coast line is pushing in and claiming land. It's good to see this!

Doesn’t anyone remember being taught about this in geography?! Cobden is eroding and Blaketown building up. Cool to see photos of it!
Sorry Mr Lysaught. I don’t remember how to spell your name but I was listening in class!

Alan Mitchell
All dependes on the tides at the times of each photo

Heather Newby
the first pic is before the bank/hill was built up to prevent the sea from flooding the houses...the 2nd pic is after the stone bank on the beach built up over the years
