Eight walkers, including three visitors, met at Malua Bay Surf Club for the start of Jenny’s Munjip Trail walk. Munjip is now the new official name of the Batemans Bay Coastal Headlands Walking Trail that spans the coastal area from Observation Point at Batehaven to McKenzies Beach to the south. On this particular day we walked from Malua Bay and headed north to Mosquito Bay. For a summer’s day the weather was quite cool with overcast skies however it was a welcome change to hot and humid weather.
Jenny led us along the track where we were able to check out newly constructed bridges and steps. The upgrade to the track is very impressive and there are a number of safety rails at various lookout points along the way however a few precarious spots were given a wide berth. Jenny’s impeccable timing meant that not only were we able to descend the steep steps down onto Mosquito Bay and the surrounding rock platforms without getting wet, but we arrived around to the nearby café just in time for a great morning tea spot on the verandah.
After resting at this rather civilised and upmarket morning tea location it was time to hit the trail again, this time taking the pedestrian path back down to our starting point. Thanks Jenny for this lovely morning walk it was great to get back out for just the second walk of the year.
