Then it's a walk along to Devils Hole, which is very scenic with its small stand of rainforest and giant chockstone. Off-track and scrambling.

![Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or long Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or long](/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/walk.png) Mostly flat and gentle incline walk through weather-beaten and fire recovering forest to Buckleys Headland. Continue on to Conjola Beach Lookout and return to cars via the beach, or the same track. This is a great walk for anyone who isn’t into too many hills with a rewarding unencumbered view south to Narrawallee and north to Cunjurong Point. Coffee in Milton.

On this 4-day weekend I'm planning to explore many of the local attractions, including climbing Yerranderie Peak, The Axehead Range and other local mountains. These walks are on very rough tracks or off-track, so expect to encounter some scrub along the way.
Places are strictly limited, so contact me asap if you want to join me on this wonderful 4-day escape into a rarely visited and captivating location. Rock scrambling and off-track. Location: Yerranderie RP Map: Yerranderie 89294N and Bindook 89294S Limit: 20.
