Ferry is free to seniors over 60 years of age, on weekends and public holidays, otherwise $32.20 per person return..
They will pick us up from the Tankerton jetty,   then drive us in 2 buses , an 11 seater and 8 seater to the General Store for morning tea /coffee and hot jam donuts( included in price) and toilets.
From there they will transport us to start of walk, Freemans Point by 10.30. ( 30 min drive ) We can walk to the beach and along the Point, Brets track,  Prison Boundary Track and Gartsides- Rainpoint Rd. About  10 km.
