Parks & Nature

The views are amazing from the top of the walk from the seal colony. Quite a good climb up and allow 90 mins for the whole walk or you can double back for shorter time. Take some wind and sun protection. Better at high tide.

The climb up to the hut is a great walk, then to the top of the walk is very scenic. Maps are available and there is a carpark. Times and distances are posted on the trail map. Quite sheltered, where not in exposed places, if weather is not good elsewhere, as you are in the bush.
