The 8km walk is one of the most scenic along the South Coast and encompasses walking in banksia as well as spotted gum forests, along beaches, across rock platforms and navigating several rickety steps.
On the way to the working solar-powered lighthouse (built in 1974) and the Trig Station, the 8 walkers passed the remains of a concrete Nissen hut used by the Royal Australian Air Force during WW2. We then paused at the newly-built viewing platform and were delighted to see several seals basking in the sun on the rocks below.
From Guerilla Bay the walkers traversed around the cliff edge to Nudies Beach and then around another scenic cliff edge to Nuns Beach, where a shady spot was found to have morning tea. After a short rest, the group navigated the rock platform separating Nuns and Rosedale Beach.
The humidity slowed the return walk to Guerilla Bay and with little shade on offer it was agreed by the walkers to forgo the optional lunch and instead seek some cool at home.
Despite the humidity all agreed it was an exceptionally scenic walk in good company.
