Other activities on this tour are driving across and down the massive sand dunes to the beach to do some Pipi Catching and Release. See how they burrow their way back down into the sand.

After an exciting 20 minutes drive across the sand dune you will find 'Tin City' emerging out the sand dunes like a mirage! It all began in the late 1800's when two tin huts were build to store provisions for shipwrecked sailors (there are some 98 shipwrecks between Newcastle and Port Stephens). In the 1930's Great Depression 'Tin City' grew to 14 huts. A number of movies have been made at this location, including parts of Mad Max. The pub still stands! Other activities on this tour are Sandboarding, visiting the 'Pyramids' an old WWII site, and Pipi Catch and Release.
