Walk distance: 7.5 – 10 km. Stunning scenes including pristine beaches, remnant rain forest and spectacular cliffs with steep headlands, followed by a gentle forest amble along the shoreline of Durras Lake and its nature trail.

Options for swim if conditions are right, but the water temperature will likely be too cold for all but the most hardy (or silly!).
