Rocky Cape

Postby Chrisbulldog » Fri 12 Apr, 2013 4:08 pm

Recently made a trip west to east along the Rocky Cape Range. With the weather dry perhaps a good time to do it.
We walked 1 way via Anniversary Bay to Sisters Beach ,with the bonus of a bus waiting for us.
This took about 2.5 hours with a lunch break , but could be done as a return circut back to Rocky Cape Road , taking about 5-6 hours. Track is dry with 2 slight bogs .No orchids out at the moment but the sawtooth acacia forest looks good.

Yeah I did the circuit in November, it's a nice one, although a bit overgrown. The caves aren't particularly interesting though.

Yeah I did the 18km circuit as a trail run last month (roughly 2hrs 15min). Started at Rocky Cape and went over the hills to Sisters Beach, then back along the coastal 'route'. I had pretty raw shins by the end of it from the grasses encroaching the track, yes it is a little overgrown, but a gorgeous coastal route and scenery!
