Hi Kathy! You are so right. Back in 1980 I took a bus from Adelaide Australia to Alice Springs. Obviously, I was much much younger. It was a brutal bus ride, but so worth it. 🙂

hi Jackie. This was a festival that has been on my list for years. I’m glad I finally got to experience it and participate!

Hi Ruth. It was fun. Watching tides go out is always interesting, and then to see them come back in even more so (at least for me). The steps that people walk down during low tide are not visible once the tide comes back in. Security in the morning was not that tight. There seemed to be more for the walk in the evening. I spoke with a few people who made it out to the island and back. They really had to hustle. I also spoke to a couple people who got stranded on Modo. They were rescued, along with many others 🙂

Hi Jan. Yeah, I did feel a twinge of nerves when the water started getting a little deeper. The pictures I have seen make it look it’s almost a road. That’s not really the case. Although, in the evening, there was not as much water. Anyone can go on the walk. Lots of kid and families take part.

Hi Michele. haha. No wine does it help! If I ever wrote the comments I would like to write, my students would be in tears. Wine brings out those comments 🙂 Yes, the tide is extremely low, and happens twice a year.
