| Walk Details | Car park - start of the walk. | We actually did this walk as an after-thought. |
 |
 |
 |
| The initial section has some nice orchids in it. | However, when we got to he coast, | without an orchid sighted. |
 |
 |
 |
| nothing to photograph, | we decided to be tourist's. | And do the full walk around the cliffs and back. |
 |
 |
 |
| So this is the real start to our walk! | It starts with a wide and uneven track | scrapped into the low heath bushland |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| A few minutes in and you come to the cliffs | and the roar of the sea. | |
 |
 |
 |
| and the sight of waves breaking over | the ancient rocks below. | |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| In the distance you can see the first sight | ||
 |
 |
 |
| of the lighthouse. Which is our goal! | The path never really comes to close to the | edge of the cliff, |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| In places it is marked by rocks | ||
 |
 |
 |
| but it is always obvious where to head | A plague indicating this is part of the Great Ocean Walk | |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Finally we make the Lighthouse | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Coffee shop closed today! | Back to the car by walking along the road | |
 |
 |
 |
| or better still via the nature walk | Again a lovely walk | with the path easy to follow |
