Hi again,
Thanks to all who replied. I went down there over the weekend. Saturday was not so good, but it cleared over Sat night and the moon was awesome! Sunday was simply delightful. Nice walk to South Cape Bay, and I kept checking on the way for any signs of old (or newish) side tracks that might have been used as an approach to South East Cape. I followed a couple of leads, one of which I will walk more extensively next time, as it appears to head into the highlands south of the main track - definitely closer, if not better, views of SE Cape than at South Cape Bay.
As a previous contributor noted, the scrub appears quite horrendous on the cape - possibly not a good place for my (experienced but still human) sons! Nor for me for that matter... And the view *IS* spectacular from South Cape Bay.
Sunday afternoon, May 10, 2009, at South Cape Bay - brilliant sunshine, the occasional squall in the distance, very little wind, awesome waves rolling in, just beautiful.
Steve.
