The Gallows Surf Photo: 'In the distance.' by steeve whitehead

The distant goal, breaks along the SW coast can be dificult to reach sometimes even with a fwd, walking still is gonna have to be done. The ground can get very sandy, try a trail bike to do your initial exploring.

Majestic location. Well worth the walk, WA at its best 70s surfer.
