Review

A great location for getting those hill runs in and building endurance and strength. There is a car park located out the back and to the north of Wanda surf club ideally situated with an exercise gym set (chin-up bar, sit-up bench etc) and water bubbler near by. Any hill work should be done after a decent warm up to avoid injuries and tears so I have mapped in a 4km warm up out along the access track to the sand mine and back before hitting the sand dunes. As a part 2 to this I’ll map out the Honeymoon track and Audley for some more Shire hill training. Enjoy.

    Dear Ian & Laura, I am completing a biography of my father, Charles Chauvel, early Australian filmmaker. He made important parts of a feature film “Forty Thousand Horsemen” on the Cronulla/Kurnell sandhills in 1940. I have been keen to know how many sand dunes are still there today. I had read on another website that there was only one dune remaining, but judging by your story here, there must be more. Could you give me some idea of the area today. My website will be up and running in a few days. It will be http://www.chauvelcinema.com
    Best wishes, Susanne

    Do any traces of the filming survive in the dunes? I’m investigating the archaeology of film sets.
