The Beecroft Peninsula, near Currarong, is frequented by outdoor enthusiasts but is also used by the Defence Department as a weapons range.
North Beach is one of the most popular areas for visitors inside the Beecroft Peninsula.abc.net.au/news/unexploded-ordnance-found-at-beecroft-peninsula/101594832The Department of Defence has revealed the discovery of unexploded ordnance has resulted in access being limited to a popular tourist destination on the New South Wales South Coast.
"The location they were found is in an historic air-to-surface bombing range, on the edge of north Long Beach," Colonel Bruce said."There has been significant erosion on the beach which has exposed these munitions, so hence we need to obviously inspect the area as there might be others that we haven't identified.
Colonel Bruce said crews were also working on repairing road damage, including a sinkhole on Honeymoon Bay Road. "We are striving to get some timeline regarding when Honeymoon Bay Road will be open, and that would provide access to the whole area for campers.Additionally, Colonel Bruce said Defence would aim to increase the days and times access to the peninsula would be provided when it was not being used by the military and there was no risk to the public.
