Itinerary description

This is a longish walk along the Tangara trail from the Rifle Range Rd Mortimer Bay carpark, past Priscilla park around some headlands and towards South Arm. You can extend this walk yourself and get pretty much the whole way to Goat's Bluff Lookout or Beach. I turned around as I hadn't planned to walk so far in one day.

The trail is not hard at all and well defined. You can chop and change between three parallel walking paths for the Mortimer Bay section: along the beach, or on the tracks through coastal land or grassland. After that, from Priscilla Park onwards, it is a single track.

The only reason this is rated 'moderate' is its length. Enjoy!
