The Kitchen Sink used for playing cubby


Descriptive Title	The Kitchen Sink used for playing cubby
Category	Knowledge of the land/water and environment
Topic	Landscape
Keywords	Seascape Rocks
Description	In from the Big Rock and the Cock O Wee Path, the Rocks of the Wester Cove transition into the Landwash through a stretch of relatively flat bedrock. Here the rock shelves are foundations for imaginary castles, oceanfront rooms and meandering staircases. On the flat rocks around the Kitchen Sink, generations of girls have played cubby - sometimes with their husbands off fishing in the near and far tidal pools.
