There
is really not that much to say about the old
Dunwich bowl. As you get off the ferry from
the main land, just drive straight up the main road and turn right at the
top of the hill. This should take you down
Ballow Road, but if not, then find the caravan
park (also down to the right of the ferry ramp) and it is in a park just
in front of the first caravan line. As this is out in the middle of nowhere,
there are no toilets, drink fountains or anything close by, but it is only
a few blocks back to the shops and needs.
In
shape, it is very much like Underwood
bowl, except with a lot more bumps and a lot less wear. Built in a
large "U" shape, the top of the "U" being about 7ft deep, going down to
about 4ft, then going down to nothing. This is still quite a good bowl
to skate if you are stuck on Stradbroke Island,
(I learnt to kick flip to fakie on the small part when we stayed there
for a week), but now with the new Amity park
built and at least one more on the way (Pt
Lookout), this old bowl will probably be left
by most to the dirt and weather once again.
