It's called Birubi Point, I'm guessing an Aboriginal word.
SLSC stands for "Surf Life Saving Club". The white haired guy is my DH, not an SLSC member, lol!One day I saw a Great White shark out just beyond the last breaker, it was maybe 3 meters[9ft.] long so not a small one. The reason I know it was a Great White is that I chatted with another guy, a regular on the beach & he told me so & added that just before we came the Surf Life Saving team was practicing & were driven from the water by three Great Whites! Yikes!
That same day I saw some windsurfers & snapped a few pics, they looked as if they were having so much fun!
I talked with one of these fellows & asked him about the sharks -his words "oh yeah, the whole area is riddled with Great Whites, you just have to keep your eyes open"! That & stay upright I'd add, and in my case not going any deeper than my knees!
I took a video clip with my camera & posted it below.
It was very, very windy & I sort of staggered as I walked, you can hear & see what I mean.
One other time I snapped a photo of this man working his horse in a "gig", that's what they call the sulky the trotters & pacers race in. We saw him here nearly every day, lucky horses!

I'm with you.....not going in above my knees in shark-infested waters. In fact, I might not go in AT ALL. The area looks lovely, though.
Lovely area, when I was younger I always wanted to ride in the surf with my horse! It's good for their legs. I don't get much beach time. Thanks for sharing such a lovely location, Ruby
