🥾 Activity Level & Track Grade

Beginner:

A scenic coastal circuit that transitions from flat clifftop lookouts to a historic bayside descent with a steady stair climb back up.

Grade 2-3 (Easy to Moderate):

• The Climb: Featuring well-maintained bush tracks and some paved sections.

• Elevation: Includes a few sets of stairs as we descend into and ascend from the Q Station area.

• Fitness: Requires a baseline level of fitness for the uphill return, but we will be taking it at a soulful, steady pace.

• Terrain: A mix of defined paths, historic stone steps, and sandy patches at the shoreline.

We’ll have plenty of time to explore the historic rock carvings and the free museum.
