The Grass Tree Track links Wybung Head Rd with Frazer Beach via a ridge-top track. At the time of writing this track was very overgrown (hence the high grade) and the trackhead difficult to find. Once on course much of the track is clearer and quiet eroded in places. It is an interesting walk to see some diverse vegetationnoticing how it changes with altitude. At the bottom of the hill the track emerges onto Frazer Beach before heading to the picnic area at the end of Frazer Rd.
