Overall rating
  • Parking in front of residents homes is a problem!!! As a resident its becoming extremely difficult with the amount of Muti day campers parking directly in front of residents homes along Pacific Street….leaving no where for residential parking . There is ample safe parking in the nearby street Barri which impacts no one…please consider this when you are parking for your camp….

      Hi Judy. I had a look at either end of this one way hike and I cannot see any of the streets you mentioned at either end of the walk. Are you able to provide more info?

Gear to consider


What you carry in your pack depends on factors like weather, terrain, time of year, the type of adventure, and your personal preferences. Unsure what gear to bring? My free planning, food, and packing checklists offer a great starting point, covering essentials for day hikes, overnight trips, and multi-day adventures. Use them as a guide to customise your kit to suit your needs, always prioritising safety above all else.

Explore safe


Plan ahead and hike safely! Always carry enough water and pack clothing layers to adapt to changing conditions. Bring essential safety gear, including a torch, a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB), and a reliable communication device. Check official government sources for trail updates, temporary closures, and access requirements. Before heading out, review local weather and bushfire advice, including warnings and planned burns. Most importantly, let someone know your plans before you go. Being prepared ensures a safer and more enjoyable hike! Stay Safe, Explore More, and Always #ExploreSafe
