I do use a chart plotter and pre-plan each part of the journey taking into consideration weather, tides and various other factors. It's not difficult it just takes a bit of concentration and planning. Greatly thinking of buying a yacht what are you looking at doing with it?

Peter, with respect to those black boulders at the beach, these are indeed volcanic. About 5 kilometres inland from Bargara there is a rise in the landscape known as The Hummock. This is the remnant of an old volcano that deposited lava out to the coast all the way from Elliott Heads in the south and up to Burnett Heads in the north. The boulders are the result of erosion of that lava over time. Peter F.

Thanks Peter for clarifying that. I did end up actually going to the summit of the Hummock and it is incredible view. Thank you for confirming what I thought.
