I walked one of the Narawntapu tracks yesterday and I was amazed at the wildlife and how easy it is to walk. It is reasonably flat until you get near the bit where you can go to the beach or Archers Knob, then to get to Archers Knob it was very steep!
But when we got to the beach we had lunch then it was a nice easy walk back to the car park!
P.S We recently took our 6 month old Kelpie (Roxie) up Quamby Bluff and she was very scared of the rock screes(lol) , is that normal for a dog??

Narawntapu is a lovely spot. Next time you might like to walk to the end of the beach and take the track up onto Badger's head, maybe even walk over to Copper Cove which is a lovely spot for lunch.

The zigzag track up from the beach is no harder than the Archer Knob track. Once on top the track is easy to follow over to the cove.

Not in my experience. Kelpies are usually very sure-footed and will gladly go anywhere you do.
Sure she hasn't had a bad experience in the past with rocks? A fall or something?

Dogs are better at rockscrambling than humans, with their lower centre of gravity, and four short legs. Except for where they need to be carried/lifted. But I suppose if the rocks were moving, and they were sliding about, they'd probably shy.

actually slippery rock screes can be quite tricky for dogs too.... as can carrying your mate out if it slips and breaks/hurts a leg! (which has happened to my brother-in-law about 11 years ago now- not a great situation to go through)
