stefadorablezz Says: I was walking along the yanchep beach just in front of club Capicorn. there are some dead jellyfish lying on the sand which was engulfed on the seaweed. Please do not touch them. Despite the fact that it won't kill you, it still can make you sick.
keeweechic Says: Not really a warning but a consideration. There are several recyling points around the park which request that you dispose of your waste in the proper ecological manner. Please observe these bins and preserve the park.
