Killarney Beach is about halfway between…
…Port Fairy and Warrnambool.
We used to visit Killarney on a regular basis…
…back in the 1950s and I clearly remember
how we would walk over two rows
of very high sand dunes
to access the water…
…at least the sand dunes seemed high to a boy
under double figures in age.

Killarney Beach Sand
I have stretched the tape measure to measuring devices.
My first thoughts turned to the carpenter’s squares…
the black and blue metal right angles on my saw bench.
Next was tape measures of which I have several.
That white spirit level also can be used for measuring.
Last, but not least, is the saw bench itself.
At either end is a ruler calibrated in millimetres
making it easier to cut a piece of wood accurately.
My drop saw also measures, in centimetres,
the width of wood being cut.
While the markings in the grey base are for
measuring the degrees of the cut.

Walk this way (west) and you will
finish up in Port Fairy,
which is exactly what we did in 2002 while
I was teaching at a nearby High School.
The straight line is a little over 6 kilometres.

Entry track…
…to Killarney Beach.
In the late 50s early 60s it was said
these waters were full of stingrays.
In all the times I swam at Killarney I never saw,
or heard of a human/stingray encounter.
