Fifteen keen walkers set out early from Pretty Beach camp ground to head up the slopes of Mt Durras. This northern approach follows a well formed single trail that joins a clear and open fire trail that gently climbs towards the summit.
Upon our approach to the summit we were met with lazing kangaroos and a red belly black snake basking in the sunshine to the side of the trail. We enjoyed morning tea in a clearing at the top.
The well formed and open trail down the southern aspect of Mt Durras allowed for a seamless decent to Clear Point and the stunning coastline. We joined the Murramarang South Coast Track for our return along the coastline to our starting point to the north at Pretty Beach. Whilst we were a little late for the seasons whale watching, we did sight an echidna on the trail.
Thanks to all, it was a lovely day out.
