Tomaree National Park

Reviewed By Teejayy19 - Sydney, Australia

It took me about 45 minutes to get to the summit after taking a little detour to see the WW2 gun emplacements. I wouldn’t even bother going to the WW2 gun emplacement as there is nothing to see here. It is abandoned and run down with a few posters to read about it. The walk to the summit has lots of steps that are very steep when walking up. If you suffer from knee or major health issues, I wouldn’t recommend you do the walk. I did see a fair few people over 60’s doing the walk. Wearing joggers is a must as there are parts of the walk that are un even, so please don’t wear sandals or flip flops. When you reach the top, the views are absolutely gorgeous. They are the type of views that you would see all over social media. I took some food with me and had a little picnic at the top while I rested and enjoyed the views. If your lucky enough, you might catch dolphins or whales swimming in the distance. Do yourself a favor, come here and do the walk. You won’t regret it, it’s great!

Point Stephens Lighthouse

Reviewed By Bunchie71 - Newcastle, Australia

We looked up the tides and set off to cross in the window where you could get across the spit without getting your feet (too) wet. What an experience! Not only was the beach walk spectacular (my favourite) but you get to experience history as well. As a ‘local’ I never knew this existed! We even had time to have a swim in the sheltered beach on the other side of the spit. PS We recently (Sept 2020) attempted to cross again but hazardous surf has limited access. If you can do it safely, it’s worth doing.
