With beautiful views of the harbour and good tracks for hiking, a lovely spot. Shady trees and relatively unspoilt harbourside setting. more »

Great views from the reserve. Easy walks through native flora and fauna. Grab some water at the coal loader or a coffee when the cafe is open. If your there early just beware of walking through the spiderwebs
