Sailors' Walk 175 Anniversary Coromandel Valley
Got up early on Sunday for the Sailor's Walk - commemorating the event in 1837 when sailors from the HMS Coromandel anchored at Holdfast Bay absconded and walked to the area now known as Coromandel Valley. They gave themselves up eventually but were pardoned by Govenor Hindmarsh - good thing as the ship sailed on to New Zealand and later sank!
