Those that don't want to cross the mountain can return by the same route, and sunbake/swim back at Pretty Beach or return home early. Some rock hopping. Others will do the circuit over Durras Mountain. NPWS park entry fees apply. The Durras Mountain extension may not be possible depending on park’s reopening post-fire. Distance: 6km or 12km.
