Even on an overcast day a walk around Mossy Point never fails to deliver.

This morning walk started at Candlagan Creek car park, from where we crossed Coronation Drive to enter a small track running west behind the houses along the southern bank of Candlagan Creek.

I was surprised to hear a fellow walker, a member for around 20 years, who has walked 100s of kilometres with the club, remark that he was not aware that this little track even existed! So, it would seem that even after 20 years of walking with the club, the club can still deliver surprises for its members.

Initially the track was clear, then became a little scrubby until we reached the junction with George Bass Drive. From here we headed north crossing the road bridge over Candlagan Creek before re-entering the bush.

A short time later we were once again walking behind houses. However, this time we were following the bank of the Tomoga River until we reached the Mossy Point Boat Ramp. From there we continued east, before taking a short flight of steps onto the headland. Although, we found ourselves once again walking behind the houses, this time we had the ocean on one side.

This cliff top section offered up a sweeping vista over the ocean before the track took us back down to the Candlagan Creek car park, where we socialised over lunch.
