The Easter Sunday bushwalk started at Long Beach on a blustery day. The group of 15 walked north past Maloneys Beach, up the new metal staircase onto Acheron Ledge and then inland to follow a series of local tracks to Judges Beach.

After a break on the grassy verge behind Judges Beach out of the wind, the walk continued to the old farm stockyards, onto the indigenous canoe tree and then to Quiriga Beach. There we took the new sandstone steps back up to Acheron Ledge and then followed the newly cut Murramarang South Coast Track over to Maloneys Beach.

This is a 10km Easy/Medium Circuit takes in two well known beaches and two remote beaches, plus some indigenous and colonial history, right on the doorstep of Batemans Bay.
