Any walk along our coastline is guaranteed to provide spectacular views and when you follow a track that hugs the cliff tops the views are varied and always interesting. We started in Guerilla Bay and climbed up to Burrewarra Point before following the track along the south facing cliff line. We had a great view of surfers enjoying a strong swell from the south.

No matter how many times we walk this coast there is always something new to see and our Walk Leader, Geoff, pointed out an interesting midden near Long Nose Point that I must have walked past a dozen times and never spotted. Most middens are found in or near sand dunes. This midden was right at the base of the cliff and mostly covered by large rocks that must have fallen down the steep slope.

We then continued along Barlings Beach and finished the walk at the River Mouth Café in Tomakin which unfortunately was closed so no cold drinks for a group of hot tired walkers.
