Our 10.5 km walk today started at Long Beach and continued east, skirting Maloneys Beach and entering Murramarang National Park. Walkers followed the narrow winding bush track to emerge at Judges Beach. This was the eastern most point of the walk, and we took a break here on the grass overlooking the beach to enjoy the deserted cove and views.

On the return leg, we passed the old wooden stockyards, crumbling quietly under termite assault, the indigenous canoe tree, Quiriga Beach and Reef Point. We stopped for lunch at a picnic table on the cliffs behind Northcove Drive to savour the views over the water and back to Batemans Bay. From lunch it was a short walk back to Long Beach.
