One of the many advantages of returning to a location is the opportunity to discover new paths and access points. As with any location adjacent to water flow it is vital to stand and watch for a substantial period in order to gauge the movement and rhythm of the waves. Even then, the ocean is unquestionably unpredicatable.It's always somewhat of a risk wandering in the Bombo quarry so it was with the utmost care that I endeavoured to search for some alternate perspectives. A fall at Bombo could mean being pounded against the rocks with scant opportunity to negotiate a return to land. Bombo is also apparently a snake's playground so the rocks present an additional hazard.
The expansiveness of the quarry is best viewed from the top of the cliffs just south of Cathedral Rocks.

While the isolation of the location is a great drawcard for me it was reassuring to encounter a mum and her young son Oliver who frequently visit the quarry to allow Oliver's imagination free rein. They'd brought along a length of rope and Oliver was playing the cowboy with his mum the accommodating horse. The interaction between them was heartening to watch.
