Starting from the dirt car park at the end of Eclipse Island Road, this walk takes you on a circuit in Torndirrup National Park. This walk is suitable for families with children that want to observe the wildlife and the vegetation and enjoy awe-inspiring coastal views while spending a short amount of time doing so. There are a number of lookouts that offer views of the open ocean and the beaches and are used for whale sightseeing and birdwatching. The track is formed, and there are only gentle hilly sections. No experience is required. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
