Light drizzle did not deter a small group on a walk along well maintained tracks, enjoying the forest vegetation before heading over to the south coast track.
The weather cleared in time for a leisurely morning tea at the southern end on Myrtle Beach. After spot of beach walking, we followed the cliff line, through changing vegetation, to Emily Miller beach and onto Emily Miller Point.

After the ‘leap of faith’ over the dike it was time for lunch and an opportunity to admire the fascinating geology. Next rock scrambling and rock platforms all the way back to the remains of the metal boiler, the resort and cars. The early rain had brought out the beautiful colors of the bark, it was spectacular. The Durras trees were in all their glory.
