The staircase to the Moon is a phenomena whereby the full Moon or near Full Moon rises and its reflections shine in the pools of water trapped in the receding tide. It gives an effect like the rungs of a ladder or a stairway to the Moon.
This spectacle can only be viewed during the middle months of the year as the effect cannot be seen if the Sun has not set, which is the case when the days are longer from October through to May. Additionally, the best effect is when the low tide corresponds with the rising of the Moon. As the year progresses this timing is not quite right.
So, if you want to view or photograph this effect, come to Cossack on Tuesday 13th or Wednesday 14th of September. Bring a picnic dinner or portable BBQ. Sorry, no fires allowed!
