These walks are suited for experienced walkers who are comfortable with steeper inclines, rougher terrain, and potentially longer distances.
Explore safe
Plan ahead and hike safely! Carry enough water, pack layers for changing conditions, and bring safety gear like a torch, PLB, and reliable communication device. Check official sources for trail updates, closures, and access requirements, and review local weather and bushfire advice. Most importantly, share your plans with someone before you go. Being prepared makes for a safer and more enjoyable hike! Stay Safe, Explore More, and Always #ExploreSafe.

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….
Thank you for sharing this Judy. I will also update the walk description to make note of this.
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?
