Five walkers overlooked their Easter Egg Hunt to complete this 11.8km (thanks Donna) circuit.

Starting with a kilometre or two of pristine beach the walk then headed off the beach across the sand dunes. 4km through pleasant woodland that was once a sand mining operation led us to the shores of Lake Coila. The lake is quite full and walking the edges required some zig zagging. Morning tea was spent in the shade on the lakes edge.

The return section of the circuit took us through magnificent swamp mahogany forest, and then onto the dreaming track. A side trip led by our local expert, Rob, took us to the Tuross Heads Sewage Treatment plant for a discussion on poo processing.

The weather was spectacular and all agreed that it was a varied and surprising walk..
