Fifteen walkers headed into Murramarang National Park on Thursday to enjoy an easy 6km stroll starting at Maloneys Beach.

Six visitors joined us to explore the open forest behind Maloneys Beach before emerging at the secluded cove known as Judges Beach. Here we paused for the morning break before heading back into the forest to find the old farm stockyards and the indigenous scar tree.

Then we bush bashed out to the Murramarang South Coast Track which took us back to another secluded cove called Quiriga Beach. Our final leg took us along the cliff overlooking Maloneys Beach with magnificent views back to Batemans Bay.

We are fortunate to be able to walk through such quiet and seemingly remote natural beauty so close to home.
