| (Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Perhaps the best bit of wilderness coast in NSW and we walk along it from Boyd Tower to Green Cape and return. A mixture of pack walking and day walking. Lovely campsites along the coast for 4 nights. Heath country with wildflowers, whales, and maybe a ground parrot. No hills of any consequence and short days make the walk a real delight. Location: BEOWA NATIONAL PARK Limit: 8. View |
