We walked from the Otford lookout carpark north to Burning Palms Beach and then south along the beach to the Figure Eight Pools. It was a fairly warm early summer's day, and the forest part of the walk was wonderfully shady. Most of the beach stretch involved picking one's way across rocks... which was fun and challenging. Not much in the way of bird life, but I did see a water dragon and a tree dragon as well as a tiny black skink.

The hike through scrub is well worth the payoff at the coast -- especially in early/mid October, when the wildflowers are in bloom.

At Jibbon Head/Point in the Royal National Park, which is at the end of a one-kilometre beach track from Bundeena, there is a good example of rock engravings that is accessible for public to view. The carvings are on a large sandstone platform and depict killer whales, stingrays, turtles, kangaroos and a well-endowed lawgiver, long ago carved by the Dharawal people of the area.

It's worth the trek to the other side of Jibbon Beach at Bundeena to se first hand these ancient carvings. Very well-worn, the council has wisely stopped people from walking on the rocks. Now you can only see them from a viewing deck. The carvings are thousands of years old - a very rare thing in Sydney.

Even during these Covid times, a walk to Wedding Cake Rock is still a popular activity. For those on public transport, the train to Cronulla station is not too crowded (2 of us had half a carriage in which to social Distance) and the ferry to Bundeena is a bargain at $7 each way. A well signposted walk from the ferry to the coast and the journey begins. During the week, the pathway is relatively busy, so I imagine the weekends would still be a busy time. During this time of year, there is the chance of seeing whales along the coast.
