Been meaning to ask about this ever since I found the site but keep forgetting.
Does anyone know anything about a track being cut from Vision Point ( Narawntapu) northwards towards the coast? I followed it for a few hundred metres down the hill and it looked like it just kept on going. As I had a ferry to catch I wasn't able to continue. It was fairly freshly cut at that stage (mid-May) and I mean cut - chainsaws and all, not just a footpad forced through the scrub. The deskperson at Springlawn didn't know anything - or wouldn't say.

Muchly appreciated. Would be a good track to have, if it does go all the way to the coast.

The track does go all the way down to the coast gets a bit vague at times but it is marked with tape and you just need to extra care picking it up as ,it eventually meets up with the Narawntapu Coastal Traverse Track.
It passes through some really diverse vegetation including some of the largest stands of Xanthorrhoea australis on the Coast
we have a post on it in BWT I will have a look and let you where it is.

Go back to my first post.
Read it. Slowly. Every word.
Then, if you have any more questions, I'll answer them tomorrow.

But, then, the sarcasm in her last post, perhaps it was deserved (or fished for...)

We did this walk October, 2008. The Ranger at the visitor Centre told us there was a new track from the pinnacle down to join up with the existing track along the coast. We could follow, with difficulty the track for quite a while and then could not see where it went and ended up following an animal run and eventually struck low extremely thick vegetation and ended up on our hands and knees following wombat tracks and eventually joined up with the track after a lot of bush bashing - it was not very well marked. Was in the /Narawntapu NP today walking from Badger Head to Copper Cove, it is a wonderful place.

It is a pity you missed the real track because whilst not being really obvious it is marked all the way to the coast with no ducking and diving
