noosa is beautiful
Première partie à l'abris, mais bouchée niveau vue, puis la deuxième partie est magnifique et offre un panorama splendide. Beaucoup de marches. Environ 1600 je pense.
Approx 14km, beautiful walk, make sure to take shoes off to enjoy the walk along the beach.
This walk is along a section of a bitumen called Defence Road in Point Nepean National Park, which is also used by a shuttle bus. There are much nicer walks to take in Point Nepean National Park, and you can get a map of them from the Parks Victoria website or from the Information Centre at the old Quarantine Station near the entrance of Point Nepean National Park. This Park is a former military training site, and there are unexploded bombs in some areas. All visitors must therefore keep to official signposted walking tracks. Do not go off the main trails and do not enter areas that are closed or marked 'private'. Use the Park Map as your only guide.
There is no Butler's Trail in Point Nepean National Park so this walk is wrong. It appears to follow a private track which borders an area closed off due to unexploded ordinance (bombs). As this is a former military training site, it is irresponsible and dangerous to walk along private tracks, especially when there are many good signposted tracks in this Park. The most direct route to Point Nepean from Wilson's Folly Walking track, is along Defence Road, which is bitumen, so quite boring. To find the most interesting and signposted tracks in this lovely National Park, pick up a free Map from the Information Centre at the former Quarantine Station, a 10 minute walk from the end of Wilson's Folly Track (turn left onto Defence Road, then take the first right onto Ochiltree Road then follow signs to the Quarantine Station)
This is a beautiful walk along a wild ocean beach, with barely a house in sight. If you don't want to walk the return leg, you can turn off at Portsea surf beach, and walk 10 minutes along Back Beach Road to Point Nepean road where you can catch the metro bus (myki card) no. 788 back to Sorrento. Alternatively, this lovely walk can be extended by 6km, to include Point Nepean, a stunning lookout at the end of the peninsula. At London Bridge, take the Wilson's Folly Walking Track (1 km) over a low ridge into the Point Nepean National Park. Once in the Park, it's an easy 5km walk to Point Nepean, with interesting sights along the way, such as a former Quarantine Station, and old forts and tunnels. If you dont want to walk the 5km to Point Nepean, you can hop on the regular shuttle bus within the Park (pay the driver) which links with the metro bus no. 788 (myki travel card) back to Sorrento at the Park entrance Park maps are available at the Information Centre at the Quarantine Station. To walk back to Sorrento from Point Nepean National Park, you can return to the ocean beach either by Wilson's Folly Track, or the Back Beach road to Portsea Beach. An alternative route is the foreshore walk along Port Phillip Bay from Portsea to Sorrento, accessed from Franklin Road, off Point Nepean Road next to the Portsea Camp.
Easy to walk with wonderful vistas all around. Only possible downside: very strong (and cold!) wind off the ocean. Otherwise pretty close to perfect.
great walk with the dog, start at burns beach cafe with a coffee. expect a fair amount of traffic on weekends with good weather
Great city trail
Beautiful views and a nice walk around the bay
Jessica P. on Sandringham Jetty to Ricketts Point
A lovely scenic, but deceivingly long walk that had spurs of difficulties along the way. Got to the Sandringham Yacht Club parking area relatively early; moderate foot traffic already, parking tickets are $6/hour or $18/full day (8am to 8pm). Options of taking either the coastline pathway, beach (but only up to certain points), or shared pathway next to the road. Bring a water bottle as there are water stations along the track, and a light snack because. Refer to map if you're unsure on which path to take, bring headphones if you want to drown out road noise.
Did the hike on the 15th of feb, starting in Cronulla ( We parked in Tonkin Oval car park which was free and had no time limit from what we could see) then we got the ferry down to Bundeena, the ferry was $3.50 for concession and is cash only. The north end of the Hike was really easy and we made great time down to Wattamolla, stopped there for lunch and then kept going on down. South of Wattamolla is where the hike starts to become more interesting. If you are hiking there was quite a-lot of options for water if you have purifying tabs or are willing to boil before drinking. The track is very easy as 90% of it is on an elevated walking path, the only difficult parts are south of north era camp ground. To get back to Cronulla we just caught a couple of trains, you can also Uber ( around $70 ) ALSO note that you have to book the camp ground and you will have to do this a couple days in advance.
Great walk! Busy up until the lookout and then empties out a bit.
Rien de spécial a voir avant le point de retour mais le chemin reste jolie! L'arrivée est jolie. Randonnée facile!
Great hike well worth it ! Beautiful place.
Great local walk, some nice cliff top views near the end
FANTASTIC Experience
Well maintained with a few up and downs. Mostly in the scrub and trees with a few lookouts once past Hazard. Two very different beaches
Stunning rock formations!
Started this hike from Trig campground and hiked anti clockwise along the coastline. make sure you bring plenty of water as the hike is steep and has little shade to offer. you literally have to rock climb some parts of the hike oh and when we got to deep creek cove my girlfriend dropped waist deep into some quicksand. netherless once we got to the waterfall we jumped in for a refreshing swim. finished the hike camping at trig campground. had a perfect weekend, would recommend.
